Is it just me or is winter taking a while to kick in?

In Perth, we have had one storm and its nearly June... is this expected? Global warming?

May 2019 Average :Total 17.46mm
May 1993-2017 Av :Total 90.31mm

I'd also like to note a lot of arvo/evenings have had a 5-10knot sea breeze rather than the typical autumn stillness.

No, its terrible. I like storms very much, westerly is the best direction.

Hurry up with the electric vehicles so I can have my storms back please

Maybe my fault as I bought a new kite so probably no wind for a few months now.

I've been in bed for a month now, I don't get out of bed for less than 30knots.

Reckon we are a good month out of relative whack. Been gradually happening over the past 5 years the seasons shifting forward relative to our made up human seasonal clock anyway.

Weirdest season I've had here
regular 30/35 knts but not the prolonged 25/28 knts we usually get , but only turned off a few weeks ago which is late, a 15/17 mtr would of seen you well powered lately too, not s drop of rain and 28/29 deg days, perfect fishing weather but we're in need of rain the Midwest is a dry old spot atm, actually hanging out for some decent frontals and a feel of winter,

Agreed, was perhaps the best, most consistent and longest spell of wind for a Perth summer I can remember, we didn't get the usual Feb/March period of light, gutless winds, it was pretty pumping all summer long. So, not a surprise that the 'autumn' period of no wind has arrived, and as per the last 5 years, winter will probably arrive later and hang around longer into Spring like it's done recently....

I'm looking at painting my concrete floor this week and looking for a warm day. Thursday is 28 degree, min 18,...not bad for June.

Some rain would be nice. I turned off the water to my fruit trees 6 weeks ago thinking winter was here, haven't had a drop since. I'm too stubborn to turn it back on as it means I don't know weather.

But.. No wind has meant there has been days for the SUP. The colder but relatively dry days has also been great for MTB.
I am buying a new Sup on Friday, watch the wind kick in

She's a bit of a chop fest on the that side at Exmouth unless you can grab it at very low tide.

northerelys like that normally mean the start of a big eventual westerley front. Interestingly that last Thursday has modelled a west change near end of day. Reckon weekend after this one could see the change. Hope so !!

It's big air Thursday! But what's a northerly?!? Never heard of such a thing in these parts, I don't even know what beach to go to.

So let down by my fellow Seabreazer's. Here I am stuck at work watching the first solid winter wind/ swell on the surfcam and not a kite to be seen. I'm not angry,..just disappointed :) LOL
