Yes, our
'Wet' Season sure is here.
Tropical cyclone Guba is bringing refreshing rain to the
Cape. A
cyclone watch has been declared for coastal and island communities from
Thursday Island to
Cape Flattery on the far
North East coast of Queensland,
Australia. As of 1pm today, Wednesday 14th November 2007, the predicted route of this category 1 cyclone is to move away from the coast. Hopefully, this cyclone will not intensify beyond its present strength and will turn away from the coast. However, c
yclones are not at all predictable so it could decide to stand still, intensify, change direction or disintegrate all together. The next
cyclone advice will be issued at 5pm today's date.
Do take time to explore the
Australian Government's Bureau of Meteorology site and follow the course of
Guba. From the site (highlighted) you can explore and learn a great deal about
meteorology. Great for young people and us oldies alike!
This
cyclone was to be named Rebeca by the
Aussies. However, the
Papua New Guinea people got in first and named her
Guba - meaning 'sky', I am told.
Thank you for visiting this site. I hope all the highlighted links are enjoyable and informative for you. Learning about things we may not usually come across in our day to day lives seems somehow to give us a lovely 'lift' or maybe, a natural high!
