WANOTE 西澳隨筆

看天氣曬衣服乃生活的一大要事........澳洲伯斯跟美國不一樣,每家的後院必有裝置晒衣場....喜歡在後院曬衣服,讓衣服染有香香的太陽味道....(os:私底下的我是懶人...除非大晴天...最愛把衣服曬在遮雨棚下,不要自找麻煩!)

想知道天氣情況如何,論精準度,不是查看yahoo weather,而是上Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology網站,click

註1:昨日氣象預測說few showers, 我還想事不過三才叫few,頂多下2場雨,結果來了幾場零星的陣雨,今天的氣象預測(今明兩日)有雨水--shower or two,這才發現事不過三應該屬於shower or two才對.

註2:我都是只看今明兩天的氣象預測,天天查看此網站,避免來不及搶收衣服.
