The switch has been flicked to winter overnight.
Min of 1.6° max of just 5.3° despite the sun all day. No going back now. Always happens in the third week of may.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 ...
