Sunny and hot most days with thunderstorms possible. Those storms are very localized. We had one yesterday and measured 0.03" in our back yard! My wife likes her new rain gauge!
Oh, the weather outside is...

That's an extremely localized storm.

+13 C/ 55 F here. Pretty autumny weather in past few days. I have to start stocking warm sweaters.
It's foggy outside. Very foggy.
Thank goodness it's fog. If that had been smoke, I would be unable to breathe (that's probably coming later, as we seem to get a lot of forest fires happening in August, and the smoke gets blown in this direction).

When my parents AC broke in Durham it got up to 82F (28C) in the house. It was uncomfortable but not absolutely intolerable.

Lotta wind; some bouts of rain (for days now). This might be due to Tropical Depression Hanna NE of Luzon dragging moisture across the country. Or there is a giant storm west of us, on which I can find no information. The weather services here are terrible. 
July and August are our monsoon season and July was pretty wet. Above average. We got 2" of rain in Albuquerque, a half inch over the average.

Play with me.
Reminds me of Manitoulin Island. Oddly enough, i have an aunt from new york state who's cottage i stay at up there.(she holds the family reunions about once every 3 years recently. used to be more often but we've found other places and kinda do a rotation between 3 places now.)

Same, same, same...except today I awoke to find that all the tug boats and ore barges have fled. That's a bad sign.
It's pretty miserable and there's an outside chance of some slushy non-set snow over the next couple of days. It'll probably just be freezing rain and maybe some hail though.
It's already snowing heavily in the mountains, we're pretty much just beyond the northern end of of that - the Alpine region runs south and west of here for about 350km. As you can see from the radar, the city of Canberra itself is unlikely to get snow - we're about 150 metres too low in elevation, typically. But hey, maybe this'll be the one in two years snow event in this city.
There's also an AFL game here tomorrow. We have neve had any snow at an AFL game, thoigh we did once have a professional rugby league game in snow (Canberra won):

Some more Canberra snow photos, it came again this morning over the hills around town and much moreso up in the nearby mountains. It ain't much but it's pretty rare so here's parliament with a snowy hill backdrop

Also a pretty neat illustration of the snow line - most of the city sitting literally a few dozen metres below it, so the flurries like at the footy last night are vanishingly rare.

We had a dewpoint of 77°F/25°C today. That's always uncomfortable. Luckily the air temperature was only 82°F/28°C at the time.

It cooled off enough last night that I was able to open my windows for the first time in a month. I probably could have done it sooner but haven't been paying super close attention to the night time temperatures and until yesterday, things wouldn't really cool off until I was already asleep.

Huh. Weird coincidence, I also opened my windows yesterday evening- had to close them again pretty quick though because the humidity came back.
