People say that the weather is boring small talk. However, since many kids believe things like rain is teardrop shaped, or heavier things sink and lighter things float, I’ve been reading quite a bit of physics and earth science stuff, and it’s so cool and weird how we have clouds and rain and other weather phenomenona. How does lightning happen? Thunder? Natural disasters?
It’s so weird that we exist on a land with these things, and I am dying to learn more. I wish I had studied this stuff earlier. But I guess it’s not too late. Excitement ensues.
I love learning when it’s for fun and not for grades.

Well my knowledge of it is limited to highs and lows and how stupid it’s been one week from another.
Nothing really in-depth though tonight’s low is 3-4 degrees if that’s of any significance.

Lots of youtube stuff - I recommend Ozgeology for a local slant on this stuff. Melbourne based too. At least until he ‘discovered’ a river of gold underneath Melbourne. But seriously, this channel fits with everything I’ve learned so far about this town and continent.
All this stuff used to be called geography - but they don’t teach that anymore as it was considered boring and irrelevant back in the 1990s. I have NEVER agreed with that verdict. Where we are on this planet and how everything works is something I been fascinated by since early youf. It’s basic to understanding where we are and what is likely to happen in the future.
