While it snowed in the south, the north had some epic hail. This one pictured had at least 15cm in diameter, judging by known diameter of the weighing scale as parameter:
My home state Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil is going through a very hard time. Record-breaking storms and floods affected a huge portion of the state including the capital. Millions of people were somehow affected. More than 100 deaths and counting. More than 327 thousand people had to left their homes because of the extremely dangerous floods and most of them might have no home left to go back. Important roads are blocked because of floods and landslides, bridges collapsed, the most important airport of the state is flooded, some communities are isolated. The state is going to need a very expensive reconstruction.
Auroa going off here tonight (early evening)- very much a pink and purple affair and a faded out version covers about third of the sky.
Starlink went over and saw several shooting stars as well.
My parents went to Australia/New Zealand in late January/first half of February. I'm not sure where they went in Australia, but I knew they went to Christchurch. I was just thinking about how they missed out of the Aurora Australis/Southern Lights by 3 months.
Have seen some lovely snow photos from friends down south, with 3-4 inches at 280 metres above sea level.
Just blue sky and frequent frost here, although there was a trace of rainfall last night- but back to another sunny week already.

A shame for them, as it was very impressive - the second best I've seen here.... tell them to come visit again...
Stunning colours this autumn, with a prolonged period due to windless conditions - larch, silver birch, oak, gingko, maple and liquid amber and different willows, plus many others. Apples and grapes simply stunning.
Plenty of frost, and almost no rain for May.
Acacia, magnolias, tree lucerne already in flower, which might be dry related.
A bit of new snow on the higher peaks mid afternoon, but the melt pattern/ cloud conditions suggested some sort of rime ice event.

Magnolias bloom in autumn for you? The deciduous varieties bloom in spring (Apr-May) here, while southern Magnolia, which is mostly found a bit further south, blooms in the summer.

Deciduous magnolia usually bloom mid winter, so this is unusually early.
Southern magnolia seems erratic for flowering to me, with about a six month period where flowers will appear individually or in small groups - a southern Magnolia fully covered in flower is something I became used to seeing when living in Christchurch, but seldom see here.
A large percentage of daffodils emerged about a month ago -while it's standard to get a few through June, the timing and extent this year was also very unusual.
Thinking the dry may be a factor- has only been around 180mm of rain for the year to date, and on 12 days of rain, but with 130mm of it falling on one day and the daffodils appearing shortly after.
