Haven't had a chance to share, but my totals were 73.7mm recorded from my PWS here in Truganina.

BOM always seems to under forecast maximums this summer for my locality. Like many others we have to rely on MetEye for localised estimates. Obviously the difference is very marginal and within range of approximately. I'm over in Truganina, 23 KM direct west of the CBD. Days like today where it's fo...

I certainly wouldn't complain about a nice long Indian Summer. March 2013 and 2017 spring to mind!

Hardly summer weather, long pants and jumpers, No Sun.

I wouldn't mind a bit of warmth and sun today. We've got the rest of the year to enjoy the cool overcast conditions.

Hey gang, Just a curious question about Summer this year here in Melbourne specifically. I've been watching the charts this summer and anytime there is significant heat incoming and getting close to Melbourne, it seems to dissipate and head back North on the next ACCESS chart run for example. I'm no...

Picked up another 10.5 mm overnight. If anyone is vaguely familiar with the western plains on the fringe of Melbourne's west. I'm over in Truganina about 22 km directly west of the CBD. It's usually the arid drylands here, my amateur gauge has already recorded 43.38 mm for the month. Must have been ...

Looks like some potential heat brewing for next Wed/Thurs?

Any chance of a pattern change coming ? Have to say I’m thoroughly sick of being plunged back into winter all the time . It’s the second week of December! And winter began in June! I'm with you there Jimmy! I'm not one to complain about weather, but some prolonged mild-warmish days would be great a...

On and off bucketing down rain here in Truganina most of the morning!

Storms incoming, I can hear Thunder and see flashes here in Truganina

No real rainfall to speak of here last night in Truganina - however we were surrounded by a lovely light show. Looking south east and north!

One of the best Storm days I have ever seen out in the Western Suburbs. I've only been at my current place in Truganina for about 18 months. Seen about 4-5 Storms roll through here today, torrential rain, followed by steamy sunshine and humidity only for the next storm to roll on in. Amazing day fro...

Smashing down here now!!!

Crossing Truganina 10 minutes ago

Round three here in Truganina, incredible rainfall rate. Getting smashed!

11.5mm in the Nylex this morning. A total of 22.5mm for the entire event over the past three days.

Not to bad I say considering many around Melbourne with nothing.

Round two this morning in Truganina!

Just got smashed by a huge storm downpour!

Exactly like a morning in Denpasar, heavy morning rains and storms, then sun and super humid!

Will check the Nylex later!

Huge Thunder here in Truganina about 15 minutes ago. Heavy drops of rain for about 2 minutes.

Guess I've had better luck than most over the past two days! Not much rain, but at least some decent rumbles and a micro burst yesterday!

Pelting down here in Truganina!

Merry Christmas All!

I'm not sure if anyone has recently noticed, but there are now official weather station reports from 'Point Cook' - Any idea when this new station went live?
