altimeter at YSSY for old smokey

Smokes!

Being a technophobe I shall probably screw up this jpeg but it purports to show yestiddy at YSSY. Dew Point (heh, heh); barometer; temperature. [One day gorgeous, perfect the next]. Altimeter reads 20ft on parking 1020hPa QNH; I return from the beach, 1016QNH and if the jpeg doesn't work assume constant temperature ('cos we can!). Mine is a sypathetic altimeter so do I dig down for it or fetch tall steps. Mebbe that might help the young 'uns but I do believe that in this part of the world, for QFF/QNH freaks the semi-diurnal tidal variation is 120ft or 4hPa.

How is SIN PER these days? Took my daughter to Rottnest as she hadn't seen a quokka. Thazzands of 'em at the airport. Must be trying to get jobs on the mainland.[IMG]e:/YSSY wunderground[/IMG]
