A cold start this morning - just 1c and light frost.

Only 1mm in rain gauge which is disappointing. And struggling to see any more rain this month

Quite a few crops up North are now being cut for hay to salvage something out of them...

Cold front has passed and we got zero rain after forecast models suggested 3-6 mm. Ominous for the coming few months...

Looks like the +ve IOD is going to head towards Neutral by summer. Although a neutral/weak El-Nino appears to keep hanging around.

I'm going to crunch some numbers. The last 5 years (2015-2019) seem to be quite similar to 1987-1991....

Relatives in Lithgow confirm heavy snow there this morning. One of the best in a while.

You must have passed 100mm mtd HB? Pretty good going for just past halfway :). Yep, about 105mm. Will add up tonight to confirm. Our average is about 120mm for September, so not far off that. I've not seen weather like this for years. We are on track for our fifth month in a row above average. In p...

The rainband is very slow moving. Ended up with 9mm.

Looks like quite a strong cold front later this week. Potentially more good falls and snow on Alps by Saturday.

It's good to see a system deliver far more than the forecast models. EC last night had just 2mm for us this morning. Thus far 8mm and still raining!

We had some thunder this morning. But just a few drops of rain.

It looks like we'll be on the boundary between rain and nothing in the next week.

Some early indications of an embedded trough and rainband with the cold front next week. It could deliver quite good rain along the Great Divide and Central areas.

Bright sunny morning after a cold start of 1 degC.

Some interesting weather this Monday on 18Z GFS. It could get quite wet in much of Northern Vic with a stalled trough/front along the Murray.

Brutally cold this morning. Happy with 11mm over the weekend but it looks dry in coming week.

I was in the Southern Mallee this weekend. Grain and canola crops are looking very nice.

The warm blob in the NE Pacific is doing a repeat of Sept 2014: https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2019/09/a-su ... e-pacific/

Cold one here today. 6mm for the event thus far.

Shocking dust storms in Western NSW atm.

Quite an amazing thermal gradient to our North. Currently 14c here, 16c in Swan Hill, 25c in Mildura, and 30c in Broken Hill!

Progs looks rather chilly from Friday onwards. Probably looking at 15-20mm of rain in this neck of the woods.

It's a warm one today. We might have our first 20c+ temp since May 18. Currently 19c.

But it looks the goods for a nice cold outbreak later in the week

Just a couple of mm yesterday afternoon.

Later this week has grabbed my interest. Although it looks a bit messy on some forecast models (hello Access-G!), it has the potential to bring very useful rain to parts of Vic. We need every little bit with the current +ve IOD...

-2 degC this morning. Heavy frost.

Cool and dry mostly for the next week. Although it's interesting to note a build up of heat over inland WA in the next week too.

Not sure if we'll get much. We're too far North to get anything decent this weekend.

That said, we did manage 3mm overnight which was more than most forecast models were suggesting.

A cold -1 degC morning here today. But nice and sunny so at least a good day for drying clothes.

Doesn't look like much rain for us this week. Might eeck out 10mm of we're lucky.

Decent frost here this morning. Down to -1c.

Forecast models are also suggesting a decent follow up front on Wednesday-Thursday. Going to be windy.
