It's crazy to have not had any rain for two months and then get a months worth in a few hours.
Victorian weather sucks, especially in the warm half of the year.

70mm for me at home on the mountain.
59mm at work at Macedon.
Very happy. Dust be gone.

97mm at Trentham East!

Up to the 30mm mark for me.

17mm today so far. So happyyyy
Just went around and rolled up my 24 garden hoses. Hope they stay rolled until next January!

6mm already in the first 12hours of April!
Double my March total!

Hope that rain comes tomorrow and we can put this horrible hot dry summer in the bin where it belongs. Bring on the cold weather!

Still under 30° at my place this arvo. Just! Won't stay that way for long.
Hate this kind of late heat and dry weather. Horrible.

It was only around 22° for most of the afternoon until a late peak of 27.5° and still 26° now..

It's just gone dark and smokey in the sky over Macedon.
Would not like to be out their near Beaufort/Ararat.

Can't wait for autumn next week.

A lovely 10mm at Mt Macedon.

It just crept over 30° at my place yesterday. 30.2° for about half an hour.
Hideously hot night. It was still 24.5° at 2am.
Back to a more comfortable 16° after the change drifted in silently at 7.30am.

That was my first 30° for the summer.

We had our first night with a 20+ minimum and highly likely to have our first 30° temp for this summer. It's 27° now. Only a light northerly breeze so far.

January gave us 180mm of rain and thirteen days with a sub 20° max. Perfect summer month for me!

Hate the heat and all that goes with it.

Pouring at Mt Macedon ever since 3pm
We had 6mm from a thunderstorm early this morning.
We have had a further 10mm since then.
Amazing January. Wet, green and no day over 30° for the whole summer to date.

18mm so far at Bolobek in Macedon.

Pouring in Macedon. The green summer continues. I haven't put the watering system on since about the 12/12. Quite remarkable. Wish every year was like this.

62.5mm for me yesterday. That came on top of 74mm since NYD.
Great start to the rainfall tally for 2024.

Back at work for the new year, just tipped out 44mm from the Bolobek gauge. That's for more than one day though. M/YTD here is now 77mm. Some January's we don't record a drop or very very little. I forgot to go look at the gauge at home before I left this morning. There was a long period of heavy th...

32.5mm so far today. I'm actually surprised it's not a higher total considering that it has been raining since 7am. 74.5mm YTD. I think that this is the best start to a year since we have lived up here. I remember a few years back, possibly 2019, where it took until early May to crack the 100mm ytd ...

Absolutely pouring down at Mt Macedon all day despite being on the edge of the blob.
Haven't waded out to the gauge yet.
