@_DollyDiamond @ABCTV ...now I'm going to have to step up my game when I get home! 😜

I jumped at the chance to do the weather on News Breakfast @ABCTV while the fabulous @SciNate is away…. I think it might be a one time thing 😂 Dolly Diamond Belle of the Ballroom This Sunday 7.30pm moshtix.com.au/v2/event/dolly…

@thehamcham Nailed it!

@SciNate Stay safe Nate- are you at Ramada Zen apartment s cos it looks very much like our view from our stay in Darwin in July

Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina is my first experience of any cyclone, and I'm in awe of the power it's wielding. I've already seen it causing damage, just from my limited view out of the balcony. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day for the Northwest of the Top End.

@Jetbumper Can you please learn how to use question marks? Cheers.

@SciNate Can you please change your name to Nancy. Thanks

@74grunts 😅

@SciNate Happy to cuddle up to you and keep you safe 🥰

@BobKosta_1 Snap! Taken a few hours ago

@SciNate This is what it's like on the bad side of the hotel!

@hilojo @abcnews @BreakfastNews I was just being me! Thanks for your sweet words. Here's to your swift recovery. 😁

@abcnews @BreakfastNews @SciNate Thanks for the fun and flamboyance in #BrokenHill this morning. Lifted the spirits of this 81 yo, after surgery yesterday. I’m sure you do so much good for many others as well!

@mikeyhon My educated guess - and it's just a guess without more specific info - it's likely a condensation trail from a plane, blown around by upper winds with a bit of shear. Also...things that look vertical can actually be horizontal. Perspective on a globe is fun!

@SciNate can you explain this cloud formation over Gerringong this morning. (Tuesday) Beautiful upward spiral cloud All the others were distant and horizontal- this on vertical. Not a jet stream

Mail's in! Proof that the art of letter-writing isn't dead! Anyone have suggestions for my next do?

@oznick77 @_DollyDiamond It's called sleep 😅

@_DollyDiamond @SciNate Looks good but can’t help but think he’s had a bit of “rejuvenation” while he was on leave!

Love the new haircut @SciNate

Not all heroes wear capes... some wear waistcoats! 😅 Thanks @FerrierSteph for keeping the tradition alive while I have a bit of a break. Back next week!

@FerrierSteph You are my hero!

Carrying on a certain Wednesday tradition set by ⁦@SciNate while he’s on leave - not as well as him though! 😀 I’ll have an update on the floods and the rest of the weather outlook coming up on ABC News Breakfast. Join us from 6am.

@ripperriver Tricky to be sure, but could be the start of a fallstreak hole. Ends up clearing out a circle of cloud.

@SciNate What's this, Nate? 😊

@mrpaulk Not yet...waaaaaay too far out, but if history is anything to go by it will likely be perfect 😁

@SciNate As a POM watching in London ,I just want to say we have lovely summers...some times! However,am gonna be in Adelaide this Christmas. for a family wedding in the Barossa,any forecasts?

@crk5 Humid air is slightly less dense than dry air, so the force imparted at a given wind speed is slightly less if the water vapour content is high, but in reality you'd probably never notice.

@SciNate can answer this for us!

@dickybeacholdie Potentially, near the coast, but the forces at play in the upper levels of the atmosphere are fighting to tear it apart. Should stay as a Cat 2.

@SciNate Cyclone Alfred slowing down - is the sea warm enough for it to build up a category or two?

We're sad to be leaving Port Hedland, but the cleanup is getting close to complete. Not true for surrounding communities, but I'll bring you their stories when I can. Such a privilege to get to do what we do. Thanks for sharing your time & being so welcoming in the Pilbara!

I'm in Port Hedland, safe and sound. Lots of trees down, still plenty of water around, but everyone I've spoken to is well, if not a little shaken. I'll see you on @abcnews Weekend Breakfast in the morning!

En route to Karratha. I'll be on the ground reporting on ABC later today as Cat 5 severe Tropical Cyclone Zelia makes its approach.

@TAWilson3 Not unusual at all - in severe tropical cyclones, eyewall replacement phases or new midlevel steering influences can make things a bit messy. Also, this is a model rather than observations, so take it with a grain of salt.

@SciNate Is it unusual for a cyclone to have an oval shaped eye? Aren't they usually perfect circles?
