Becoming warm ahead of a stronger cold front: March 16-20

Another rather pathetic lazy effort by the BOM today with their continued "all eggs in one basket" approach to their forecast. :roll:

The big dry continues. At least I get to ride home tonight with a nice cool tail wind behind me.

When will it rain? 1 March -?

The timing of this coming heatwave has simply blown me away, all 3 days of the long weekend! :o

Warm to hot with mostly dry changes. February 20-28

Horrible conditions coming up here today in Melbourne's uneventful western desert. :(

Potentially 40 degrees along with the disgusting windy filth which is already here. :-x :censored:

It's really bizarre seeing that on the radar. :o :?

Unbelievable!

Re: A hot start to February with gusty winds.

Looks like Saturday will be the best day to head down to Cowes beach for us this weekend. Sunday looks horrendous with that forecasted windy filth.

Ended up with just over 20mm here, so double my earlier estimates.

Rain settling in nicely here at work. Just finished moving the indoor plants outside for another decent drink. Should pick-up about 10mm here.

Re: Deepening low with rains and storms: January 7-10

Happy New Year all. First post for the year. :D Arrived back from the island yesterday to a very sodden north western suburbs. We have had an incredible amount of rain for this time of the year. Up to 40mm since 9am yesterday & counting. Water everywhere on the roads including two flooded sectio...

Re: Warm then more showers, 4/12 to13/12

Ripper of a lightshow with booming thunder currently pushing through here at work, including 2 massive bolts which rapidly changed my mind about going outside to check the letterbox. :o Equally impressive storm last night about 11pm which ruined my sleep & sent the Kelpie running for our bedside.

Re: Becoming humid with showers, storms and rain: November 22-30

I actually dislike the way BoM is going about this event. The chance of storms today was only ever possible to the north of the city, yet they still went ahead with a "one size fits all" approach. They really need to split their forecasting to 4 regions for Melbourne and its outskirts Tha...

Looks like yet another epic dud fail for this neck of the woods. Thank god I watered last night as we have received absolutely nothing! :cussing:

Next system please whenever that may be.

Distant rumblings here from those cells just to our south here in Burnside Heights. Doesn't look like we will be getting anything. :(

I've already given up & began the nightly watering routine.

Pathetic lazy "all eggs in one basket" forecasting by the BOM this morning. :roll:
There's obviously zero chance of getting anything out here in the western side of town.

Re: Becoming mild and windy, followed by a showery change: 3-8 August.

Absolutely disgusting conditions down here on the island. Not much better back in the western suburbs earlier this morning either. Pathetic System! :x
Going to be a very depressing couple of months coming up unfortunately. Sprinklers, hoses & watering cans are armed & ready.

Re: Upper trough followed by deep slow moving low: July 3-10

Absolutely disgusting conditions down here on the island. About as bad as it can get. :x

If I'm brave enough I might go for a stroll & check out the tide, Only thing is our beach is north facing so not expecting anything unusual to occur damage wise.

Re: Cool with some showers: May 16-23

Certainly more than just a couple of mm down here on the island this morning, over 20mm so far & still coming down. :D

Stark contrast to the bugger all dribs & drabs back in the western wasteland.

Re: Late April Low/Cold Fronts: 25-29th April 2023

Have a feeling the ranges will do their usual thing & shred the absolute crap out of this incoming band. :roll:
Expecting 1-2mm at the most here.
