84mm since 6:30pm, 50mm in the half hour early in the event. That should do it for the night, that's what i thought at 6pm this evening.

up to 66mm with maybe some more to come, before the weakening phase begins. Surely there must be home innundation with these totals!????/ Where on a slight hill here everything gets away reasonably fast, backyard in lower area is under a couple of inches of water grass extremely soggy. Just heading...

Just about 50mm in the last 1/2 Hr, rainfall rates at times nearing 300mm Hr. Looks like it's here to stay for a while.

Chirnside Park January Total, 87.8mm

YTD Total 207.6mm

No worries Jake, also sometime you can have a little bit of rainfall that gets retained in the buckets and not quite tips, and can evaporate if no further rainfall occurs. Manual gauges are the best for the final reading, when your using the 8"manual gauges with the 0.2mm graduated cylinders. W...

Hi Jake, you probably got the EU version from overseas, which may have it installed or it came with the unit in a bag. This link from the Davis website will give you an idea what it looks like. http://www.davisnet.com/product_documents/weather/manuals/07395-249_IM_06152.pdf . At the base of your buc...

Hi Jake, sorry for the delay. Quite a few factors come in to rainfall differences, height above ground is critical, closer to the ground the better accuracy you will have, I won't go into disconnecting the collector from the screen and extension kits you can buy from Davis, but that is a option, may...

33.4mm so far, 51.2mm for the event. wind gusting to 63km/h at times, possible only a couple of mm for the Melbourne area at best overnight now with this wind and humidity dropping. Rain clearing western Victoria now.

Still happy with the totals.

Hi Lilly, no problems at all glad to help. I have a link that could help with the low battery warning that could develop again in a couple of months for you. it's from the Davis website, and it mentions that problem, just go to the vantage vue firmware and check your model no and confirm before inst...

Hi Power storm, with height depending on your setup it best to be in the open as much as possible and clear any obstructions that shelter the wind. If you purchased the wireless vantage pro 2 you could always buy the Anemometer transmitter kit, which i purchased a few months ago and works excellent ...

53mm to 9am in both the 8" Rimco TBRG and my new purchase of the hydrological services 8" Bom standard gauge with a 0.2mm graduated cylinder, both had the same readings. So after 16 months The rimco is still accurate. Working in Ringwood last night and it was very heavy at times, use to li...

18.4mm here today, had to travel out just before 3pm along the Maroondah Hwy, and between Kent av and Croydon McDonalds it was interesting with water at door level, didn't have to go much further. Richard Carline on 3aw said 40 or 50mm is possible in quick time over the next couple of days in places...
