It always frustrates me how the coldest air in these scenarios nearly always gets flung out into central NSW and southern Queensland 😒 Victoria is always the bridesmaid never the bride. Haha, what does that make Melbourne? Always the braidsmaid, never the maid of honour? The Otways, tassie and the n ...

I cringe whenever "polar blast" is used in the media. Winter so far has been completely humdrum. There've been some chilly nights, but we always get those when rain bearing systems are scant. Bring on the blustery, showery days that chase you inside. Winter only seems to get cranking mid to late ...

Classic autumn break brewing?

The last time BoM had a conference advising of 200mm falls, it failed spectacularly. People were told to go home early from work, change plans etc. In the end, something like 5mm fell. At least they're abandoning their el nino narrative. Should've listened to other amateur meteorologists who ...

Just arrived home after ten days o/s. Missed all of the action here. Just emptied 133mm out of the gauge. YTD is now 1097mm. So very happy. Only one day out of the ten we were away managed to squeak above 20°. A good long period of cool weather. No days above 30° over ten months now. Love it. The C ...

Merry Christmas all.

Almost 30mm here. Thanks Santa!

This one again looks impressive and very long lived. Days of humid weather. Starts with showers and rain then sorta clears, then showers and storms return in waves. Should deliver for all of southeast Australia, and be heavy out in western Vic and South Australia which is a bit unusual. We are ...

The high pressure ridge looks impenetrable on the synoptic maps. Hopefully mid to late August delivers (it often does). Starting to worry about summer. After a couple of wet years, there's quite a bit of fuel around; and if the monsoon fails during an El Nino in this day and age expect record ...

We're so overdue for a decent front. When was the last good one? The start of winter?

This is turning into the most boring winter ever.

Got insomnia? Look at Melbourne's 7-day forecast

I’m disappointed. These lows tend to circle around Melbourne, sending streams of rain out west or out east, never through central (it seems). However, the autumn break is very welcome. Things have greened up and everything feels fresh. Hopefully we have an active winter.

Yawn

It's so dry and I'm over it. We've had a shower here and there, but it's been slim for a while now.

Question is, will we get our autumn break this year?

Expected nothing, got nothing lol

All the best storms out west and north as usual. Wish the bay wasn't there

EC is still keep on storms pushing through central.

Expect them to develop from nowhere.

The sky is rumbling but there's nothing on the lightning tracker, let alone a cell on the radar. Odd

Geez, that storm near Lethbridge is intense.

Only a light drizzle here today so far, but there's stuff building on the radar now.

A few strikes would be nice on a Friday.

Can't remember the last time it rained just about all night and day. Around the lower end of the estimate here, but welcome nonetheless. I haven't noticed any flooding, other than the usual areas where the water tends to collect; road swales, inadequate drains in low streets, etc. Stormy-looking ...

Rained almost all day here, though was light and kind of boring. Hopefully this band is heavier.
