The Australian Weather Forum

was 37.9 in the dams today. should get back to 38% after today.

10 seconds on the news, ABC has the cricket on, so much for the new warning system, I guess people think Cann River is in NSW. 7 news said the CFA said it "might be too late for people in CR to leave now", duh how does that work. So much for accurate information. Its all deja vu. Anything ...

Not a good situation, hard to fight fires down there, rough terrain, limeted access and resources. Crank up the DC10, to hell with the paperwork.

Had about 5mm of windy rain so far. Change came through at 4am here, bloody terrible night, I was expecting the cool change to arrive earlier so no aircon. Very warm this rain, teemed around 4.30 in Mentone.

Avalon 25.3, Laverton 34.7, must have just caught the change, early too, yippee. Just on the cusp here, gone calm, expect change any tick of the clock.

Change is still way out west, but theres a weak sea breeze here competing with the northerly. Over the bay is clearish with murky light grey on the horizon. Some heat rain heading for pakenham atm.

The heat island effect was enormous today. I was out and about and Im so glad I dont live in the inner city. The inner city, call it 20k radius has lost so much open land to development its beyond salvation. AC is not a luxury for those in the concrete jungle, its a necessity. I reckon many suburbs,...

Had some invisible showers here about 10.30.

band about to cross the bay looks scattered and low to the eye,

Geeze did you see that, it went yellow right over pakenham, I wonder if there was a rumble?

Nice belly behind Hitchs head on 9 news. Thats the best bit about the new look, the live cam in the background!

Its blacker over the bay than the radar suggests. I reckon this kine could give a rumble when it reaches pakenham.

Yes boring compared to the taste of storms we had...

I am wondering when we will be able to say thats it for the rain here comes the heat.
