Geez progs just keep the high going. Latest GFS has zilch for two weeks and on day 14 the high is still about 1035hPa over the top of us. Never seen anything like this before. Drought is starting to break records across lots of southern Australia now, with the exception of VIC which has had those sn...
0.4mm of drizzle here yesterday. That might be it for the week. Pressure currently on 1035hPa and rising. April was another ordinary month here. Just shy of 40mm. YTD is about 100mm, or just over half of what it should be. Btw the IOD has jumped to +0.7. That’s above the usual threshold, but just a ...
Thread for the next long long spell of nothing weather. This time a very slow and big high anchored in the bight that looks like dominating the weather for a week or two. Will be southwesterly tending southeasterly flow so some showers near the coasts, but for most just cool autumn weather.
Very handy 7mm here. Couple of spots locally got near 15mm, but overall delivered around 5-10mm. Great little system for northeast TAS with a few spots around an inch. Dusting of snow on Kunanyi and quite a heavy fall on Ben Lomond. Now back to southwesterly to northwesterly stream weather. A strong...
Progs dropping the low, but still a sharp front. Unfortunately the faster movement means rain will be less, and mainly confined to the usual wet spots.
Hoping to see at least a few mms here after just 1mm in the past two weeks.
Thread does the coming week with a strong front which might might briefly form a low near Tasmania. System looks mild and quite windy initially, but has a nice slot of cold air behind it. It’s not tapping tropical moisture so won’t be a big rain event, but hopefully pretty widespread 10-25mm for TAS...
Mild dry conditions roll on for nearly all of southern Australia. Front of sorts for next week. Looks quite cold and windy, but not a great rainfall producer. Unfortunately quite a lot of reports coming in of severe tree stress and in spots death across southern Australia now. WA is worst with terri...
Hard to report when nothing is happening. Almost rained here a couple of times but nothing in the gauge. Some light showers around the west of TAS and coastal Vic, which will pick up a bit in the next few days.
We might get something middle of next week, but too early to be confident.
One of those threads you have between threads. Lots of big highs and weak fronts for the foreseeable future. Will make for lots of gloom in central Victoria and the odd shower, but for most of Australia is just more mild sunny days. Hard to pick individual fronts as they wiggle in timing and are all...
Southern Australia is really split atm. Big falls through central VIC basically centred on Melbourne and the area from Canberra to about Sydney, while SA and WA has a big dry, and TAS gets the dredges. Really stuck weather patterns, which look like sticking for another week to ten days. Struggling t...
Remarkable bay event for parts of central. A warm bay plus cold upper. The bay is still a remarkable 20C so 850Ts of 0C make for an exceptionally unstable airmass. Nothing much to report for TAS. A few dry coldies. Light dusting on the peaks. Tis a cold dry air ass overall. The system is destined to...
Nice rainy Sunday here, though just light. Most spots scored 5mm in the southeast, but heavy falls in parts of the northeast with a few spots near 50mm for the event. Rather cold week head. Westerly flow and quite dry air, so rain will be limited to coastal areas, and focused on western TAS and east...
Looks like a bit of a miss for most on the forum. Good for eastern VIC and northeast TAS and eastern NSW, but rest getting the scrappy showers that make it further west. Down here in southeast TAS waiting to see how far the rain pushes. Progs range from near 20mm to less than a mm across the greater...
Thanks for the new thread Gordon. Looks like a big event for NSW, ok for eastern Victoria and northeast TAS, and showery for quite a few days for western TAS and east central VIC. Not so much elsewhere. The southwesterly part of the system will be very cold and long lived. For quite a while it will ...
Dipped to 3.8C this morning. Feels like we’ve gone from summer to winter with nothing in between.
Next system is already in the progs. Easterly dip becoming an east coast low. Will then be followed by a series of strong cold fronts. Heavy falls in eastern NSW, VIC and TAS. Showers elsewhere.
Chilly 7C here this morning with a light dusting on the mountain.
Showers mostly cleared.
Cold air is headed for the NSW coast where a ECL will form. This will drift south and spread showers over the southeast from about Sunday. Might be a decent follow-up depending on the track of the low.
