Ike...Yikes!!

The big weather story this week is Hurricane Ike.After laying waste to Cuba it is now on it’s way to Texas and expected to make landfall near Houston.They are expecting a large storm surge from this one.For those interested,you can listen to a Houston radio station at http://www.kilt.com/.Warning:it’s a country music station.I have also added a storm tracker to the weather site.It's worth a look and has lots of features.Check it out and let me know what you think.

Our weather has been rather hum-drum this week.It is basically typical late summer weather here.The overnight temps have actually dipped into the single digits…around 7°C on Wed and Thurs and the daytime temps have been reaching into the 20s.There is very low humidity so it’s great for getting the yard ready for winter…….it’s not that far away!!!

Note: The temps shown in the forecast block in this blog are reported from the nearest local weather station located at Western Head which is very near the ocean. The temps there are quite different than here usually.
