    I might have to come to Sydney to help out, lawns are burning off here, no decent rain for over a month now and winds nearly every day. I have put all my lawns back to 3 weekly and that could end up monthly yet.

    Courty, skies are brighter here this afternoon. Seems to be clearing following that little front that passed through from Central Queensland yesterday so might be clear down your way later today.

    No horizontal rain blowing in today so can actually open the windows to get some fresh air through the house and dry things out a bit!

    Don't know how you do those temps with that humidity.

    We were about 25 degs here and 96% + humidity. I worked for just under 5 hours doing three lawns and saturated two shirts with sweat, Reckon I would have gone through four if I had them with me!!

    Still dry here thankfully. Few more dry days and I will have pretty much caught up and be back on schedule.

    Wettest January in Sydney in 11 years, and the forecast is for only 4 days without rain for February.

    How much did you get Bryan?

    Compared to last year when we had the flash-flood we were dry and would have been even drier if it hadn't rained all last week. Over half of last months rain fell last week.

    Jan 2011 - 413mm

    Jan 2012 - 98mm
