It has been 45 years since Sydney has been as warm this late in autumn, bathing in 26-degree sunshine for the fourth day running. In the past 150 years the city has only once been this warm this late in the season. In 1968 it reached at least 26 degrees in the four days from 28th April to 1st May.
A big plus for many people is that this summer-like warmth, minus the humidity, covered most of the unofficial long Anzac weekend and final weekend of the school holidays. It was also not too bad for those who have had to put up with a standard two-day weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday reaching at least 26 degrees has not occurred this late in autumn since 1990.
Many inland parts of NSW are facing their driest April in more than a decade, with some towns having seen no rain at all this month. A series of broad, slow-moving high pressure systems have been responsible for predominantly clear skies and dry conditions, while preventing any strong rain-bearing fronts from reaching inland areas.
With only one day to go, much of the Upper Western is set to end the month with zero rainfall. This includes Brewarrina, Cobar and Lightning Ridge. It has been five years since Brewarrina and Lightning Ridge saw a dry April, and at least ten years for Cobar.
Rain is soaking southern parts of South Australia as a low pressure trough crosses the state, with some places already picking up their heaviest rain in over a year. Totals of 10-20mm were a commonplace across districts ranging from the West Coast to the Mount Lofty Ranges, with the Eastern Eyre Peninsula seeing the heaviest falls.
Cowell saw the state's highest fall, picking up 27mm to 9am this morning. This was the town's heaviest rain in a year and a half, and the heaviest April rain in 43 years of records. Kimba not far from Cowell received more than its monthly average rainfall in one day with 24mm. This was also the town's heaviest April fall in 13 years.
Time is quite a bug-a-boo in the world. Time comes and goes like the wind. Time comes and goes in the same instant, and you can’t really get a handle on it any more than you can on the wind. Yes, time, yes, time appears and disappears, well, as quickly as a gust of wind. No one can stop time. No one can catch it. Time is carried on the wind.
Where are time and the wind located? They leave as soon as they arrive. Truly, they both escape you. Here today and gone tomorrow. Rather, here for an instant and gone in an instant.
Storms in the Houston area that dumped several inches of rain have left thousands of people without electricity and forced about 150 high-water rescues.

A lot of UFO researchers talk about disclosure, but who do we want to make this disclosure, and what are we looking for them to disclose? There are those that believe disclosure has already happened, and depending on your answers to these two questions, you may think so too.
The most common idea people have of disclosure is the President making a special announcement that they have discovered some UFOs are flown by extraterrestrials. This is the sort of disclosure that the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure is seeking this weekend in Washington D.C. at the National Press Club. There will be a panel of former congress members reviewing five days of testimony from witnesses and UFO researchers. The idea is to inspire real congressional hearings that will prompt the President to announce that they knew it all the time.
