Very dark to my NW here

Look at the Brisbane radar... I would normally be up just north of Byron Bay this time of year

Just on 30mm here as the rain band starts to clear east, that is a very good fall for this area! The new weather station is working well, my manual rain gauge also has 30mm too.

I’ve finally got a weather station set up and connected to the weather underground app, now just waiting for some weather lol...

Just got home from Ballarat, rain, wind and heaps of water everywhere on the freeway, come down the hill into Bacchus and it’s sunny and almost dry

14mm in the gauge this morning bringing the total for this week to 28mm, pretty happy with that for this area.

6mm in the gauge so far today, drizzled all afternoon with some heavier bursts of rain, foggy at times throughout the day too.

15mm here overnight, woke up to loud thunder around 3am this morning.

Just had a little sleet here in Bacchus Marsh, only 3c here.

As an aside, We went down to Lorne last weekend via Bacchus Marsh. I was shocked to see both Parwan Creek and Little River were bone dry where the Bacchus/Geelong road crosses them. Such a dry area. Parwan Creek is mostly always dry now... only flows after really heavy rain. I’ve only lived here fo...

Rain starting to pickup in intensity now.

Rain setting in here now, it was nice and wet in Ballarat while out doing the shopping and it followed me home.

Really wild out there now, north facing house on top of a ridge so copping the full force... the cons of having a beautiful view

The wind is awful today, much stronger than yesterday... the garden is looking a little frazzled.

Shocking wind here today... house is rattling.

Getting some decent showers here coming in from the south.

Getting quite a decent shower atm, I’m enjoying these milder days!

Starting to rain here now, hopefully this area will receive something substantial...

Only 15mm for July here and June only had 24mm so it’s been very dry so far this winter, I too had to water my native garden this morning...

It has certainly been a dry and boring winter here, I do miss those epic winter downpours in the Perth hills.
