Wet, Warm and Word I Can’t Use

The weather gods are once again playing mind games with us as it’ll be warm but very much feel like winter.

I just want to bugger off to warm country and not return. I could just about cope if it were cold and crisp, but the damp, wet and windy conditions are not one for me.

It’s not going to be super crap, but it also isn’t going to be super great. A very comme ci comme ça kinda weekend.

Before I divulge all the weather goings on lets take a mooch into the world of the unknown.

Mystic Moz

We are now six days into mercury retrograde, with another 16 days remaining of uncertainty and no doubt a tablespoon of chaos.

On Sunday (December 1) we will have a new moon in Sagittarius! It symbolises fresh starts and the potential for growth and transformation.

Sagittarius is known for optimism: for seeing the glass as half full. You might be more solution-oriented and feel ready to tackle your problems with an encouraging attitude.

Take from that what you will, but its a perfect time for manifesting and breaking toxic cycles that really need crushing once and for all.

It’s not recommended that you quit something you care about, instead take responsibility, meet obligations and reduce inhibitions, guilt and fears.

Basically, from my little brain I think its a take a leap of faith and not worry about the future so much – we can’t guarantee much (apart from that winter will be generally miserable).

If it makes you happy, work at it and find the sweet balance.

Warm Winter Weather

Today (November 30) will be generally cloudy, still with the risk of a few outbreaks of rain at times.

Strong southerly winds and a maximum temperature of 14°C – I really don’t get this hot and cold thing going on at the moment, but I wish it would make up its mind.

The wind forecast is S or SW 20-25 with gusts of 40 in exposed areas, increasing 25-30 with gusts of 45 later.

Tomorrow (December 1) apart from the new moon, sunny intervals with a few passing showers are forecast.

The fresh to strong southerly wind will ease for a time before veering northwest and strengthening again.

The wind will be a S or SW 25-30 with gusts of 45 in exposed areas, soon decreasing 15-20, veering NW 25-30 with gusts of 45 later.

It’ll be another mild day with best temperature of 13°C.

Outlook

Monday is looking to be a fairly nice but blustery winters day, that’ll start cloudy but largely dry, sunny intervals soon developing.

N or NW 25-30 with gusts of 45, soon veering N or NE 15-20, then gradually veering SE overnight.

Tuesday looks pretty damn wet to be honest.

It’ll be dry at first, rain later, turning heavy (3-8mm) at times, with wind forecast to be a SE 15-20, soon increasing S or SE 20-25.

Not looking forward to the weather, but am looking forward to a new moon and mercury retrograde being over.
