26 mm for us so far....with the radar clearing to the south Would have been nice to get more but its better than nothing.. Bunyip who would think water would be complicated in the Wet Tropics... and YS you sure you don't have a resident Hobo up the hill trying to dry a freshly harvested cannabis cro...

Waiting, waiting.... Blustery and overcast here....will we start seeing the first showers this evening...? Wonder if it will reach inland areas or be confined to the coast..? Bunyip is that water for stock or domestic....? our creek is looking decidedly feral at the moment also with areas of green s...

Guess that shows how easily a bushfire can start from a lightening strike, YS..

Forecasts are showing that the coral see moisture might well bring some rain this week...fingers crossed..

Chilligoe must be getting a bit dry and dusty ATM, 28..?...no threat from bushfires out that way..?

Hopefully next week Dormant the storms will make it to the coast....bit of moisture forecast for the coral sea so maybe we will finally start to see a bit of rain..

yep it sure was a nice surprise sitting out at the reef having a few cold ones on Sunday evening watching the stormage along the coast...one down tully way and another around mourylian…..I thought it might be the start of something moist but the forecasts dont show much in the near future except for...

Wow we actually had some showers over the last 12 hours....probably just a few mm's though and when I weeded in my Taro patch this morning the soil was still dry...

Looks like being a hell week with 34-35c predicted early on....not going to be much greenery left around after this..

I'd be happy with 3 mm today ..it feels like rain but not much showing on the radar.. Someone said they felt some raindrops 50 m from my shack the other day....didn't hear anything on the roof so maybe it was just your bat flying over the top of them, Dormant..! Its just nuts whats going on here at ...

Yeah its frustrating alright....cloudy and humid here this morning with showers showing on the radar off the coast to our SE..

I fully expect them to peter out before they reach us though...

Horrendously dry at Bilyana, November average is 183mm and we've had 1mm. If this keeps up it will far and away be the driest November on record, the next driest was 37mm in 2016. Yep was down that way a week or so back and it sure does look terrible....just ripe for bushfires really....they were b...

Not looking good at all...I think Dormant might be on the money....greater than 80% chance of less than average rainfall for the rest of the year... But at least we don't have bushfires to contend with... I just hope we see some decent action during January... [urlhttp://www.bom.gov.au/climate/outlo...

Rain ...where...?...

The forecasts are saying dryer than average for the rest of the year....

I just hope we get some storms..my creeks are slowing right down again...

You been getting a bit of wind 28...? We found October to be a very nice change windwise after a hellishly windy winter...last month we managed to get out on the ocean for 9 days and 4 nights in the new boat...freezer is nicely stocked with reef fish and the missus had had some nice snorkelling....h...

Unlikely to get any stormage here but it sure is nice to see some activity out the back.....a bit of humidity and the odd shower and the storm season starting up...I love this time of year.....30c days and 20c nights ...just about perfect..!...and like you mention Dormant hopefully an end to that na...

I've been told they had another 'event' back in 2004 but I know nothing. English girl , Lucy Keen was left with brain damage after falling off because the person responsible for hooking her up didn't do his job. Cheers yeah the guide in that case said he had a "hangover" and forgot to che...

Time to get the mower out. No,no,no, ...... time to ring the mowerman ! :P haha ..nothing better than the feeling of looking at the grass once finished...Job well done !! What do you north of the Daintree guys think of this…..very sad but I always thought that the lack of emergency services just ca...

Wow how nice was that..not exactly sure how much there was here but I would estimate around a couple of inches..Japoonvale got over 100 mm … geez it was needed too.....there will certainly be some weed sproutage now...and a bit of humidity...finally starting to feel like summer...… I was talking to ...

Its getting very dry down this way..the grass is browning off.. but the winds have abated and its those perfect spring days that we are famous for and trick southerners into thinking QLD has perfect weather all the time......the marchies have been horrendous and its been a nightmare to be doing prec...

A few showers here this morning on the back of the SE change....really drying out here so some rain would be nice...

Yep no rain since you posted YS …...15-20 knots forecast all next week with possible showers... And I thought the winds were easing off...a bit of rain might be nice though ..its certainly drying off fast around the place... march flies have started a slow burn..no doubt a bit of rain will hatch out...

5c this morning at Innisfail Aerodrome...

Whats going on here...?...I didn't move to the tropics for this rubbish.!
