Stuck in the middle

[Nan]

We have two cyclones in this part of Australia today - at this time it's expected that neither will hit where I live (about 70 miles south west of Cairns) - so as you can see we are the "meat in the sandwich" - it is getting very windy here but don't expect it to get much worse as these two systems move over land tomorrow.

That looks really ominous Nan. I hope they steer clear of you.

Me too Koach, but the way the tracking maps are now, we are on the outer edge of both, so other than getting winds from different directions, it shouldn't be too bad

Thanks for posting the image for those of us who couldn't open the link. That is ominous.

Star the map above is the one posted by our Met Office .. the image attached here, is the "Earth Wind Map" that I was telling you about, it's amazing and you can scroll in and out and move to anywhere in the world to see what the winds are doing.  Here is the image for today and you can see the two cyclones (Gillian and Hadi) that are affecting Australia right now.

 

For anyone who is interested the link to the Earth Wind Map is http://earth.nullschool.net/   you can use your scroll wheel to zoom in and out, and drag the world with your mouse to whatever country or angle you want.
