This tongue of warm water near the NSW coast just caused Sydney's muggiest morning in 13 years, with dew points hovering around 24 to 26ºC all morning! 🥵 This low-level moisture could produce storms over Sydney or Blue Mountains later today.

@Gergyl Does a Boy Scout troop a civil society make? Libya is a heartbreaking example of the layers of civil society required to keep people safe in the midst of extreme weather. Engineers, taxes, weather services, emergency services…money, money, and more money. We’re beyond lucky.
