Re: Troughs with showers/ storms 11 Jan - ?

Peak rainfall rate of 111mm/hr - like the good old storms of old - I am sure Ferny Creek got it too.....

Re: Warming up for New Year's - Dec 28 to Jan 3

I did not think I would need to concern myself with summer bushfires this summer - well that has changed. Zero rain and nothing really coming our way. The amount of vegetation out there is massive.

Re: Warm to hot with some showers and storms: November 29 to December 3

I saw a big lightening bolt hit Mt Dandenong behind Ferny Creek while driving along Ferntree Gully road. A short time later there was visible smoke coming from that area but it did seem to quickly dissipate.

Re: Warm to hot with some showers and storms: November 29 to December 3

The storms are pulsey, rising up to full potential and quickly decaying afterwards. Probably not enough shear movement to sustain them long term. If you want a direct hit it needs to form very close to your location.

Looks like King island stream splitting going on at the moment on the radar.

Re: Strong Cold Front & Low: 7th - 10th June

My house was half destroyed last year on 28 August. It's almost finished for me to move back in - it's been hard living in temporary accommodation so far away from my home. It survived this latest round of storms, basically as there are no big gum trees left near the house, but also a south wind is ...

Re: Possible Wild Weekend Feb 5-7

This is going to be an epic fail by the looks of it. One little storm then nothing.

Storms disintegrating into the Seabreeze. Seabreeze is not that strong either.

Re: Low / Trough 15 - 16 Nov

Also the SAM has gone negative - I noticed the high pressure systems were further north. Hopefully it will switch back to positive by December and pump moisture back into Australia.

Re: Low / Trough 15 - 16 Nov

This is the gap in the rain before the tropics fire up - I have seen it before. It will go wet again. Good opportunity for farmers to get their crops off. Make hay while the sun shines they say. It will be up to 12 months before I am back in Belgrave after the storm/fallen trees destroyed 1/4 of my ...

Re: Windy with a late change: September 2-7

I am right near the McNicole Road weather station, so it might have recorded the gust. However one side of the valley was devastated but the other was not. That drone footage was over the houses in my street. I was on the ABC news on the Friday night they interviewed me and took footage of both outs...

Re: Windy with a late change: September 2-3

I am not minding the dryer weather right now. Massive tarps the only thing keeping the rain out of what's left of my home. It could be up to six months before we can move back. Much of our possessions still under rubble. There is not a single gum tree left standing that can now fall on our house. So...

Re: Deep slow moving low with rain, snow, gales and storm surge: August 17-24

My house was partially destroyed by multiple trees. Spent days dealing with the mess but it’s uninhabitable. I was on the news several times over the last few days. My new roof destroyed, right through to the floor boards. We are lucky to be alive, it was that extreme. Facing six months or more rent...

Re: Deep slow moving low with rain, snow, gales and storm surge: August 17-24

Yeah, the following runs after I posted that look a little better. SAM is slight positive going forward. The NW cloud band out west is wasted, not connecting to anything.

Enjoy this next sequence as the SAM goes positive and high pressure dominance for a few weeks to come.

Re: Low in the Bight & Rain: Aug 11-15

If this was a month later say September there would be enough solar heating for a good storm outbreak. I like to use lake Hume as a guide on how the catchments are going, it's currently 52%
