Not too bad of a morning. Hot but not too windy. Unfortunately, the wind has really picked up this afternoon with a very gusty northerly and a current temp of 33c. Luckily it's just one day of it and the ground and landscape still has moisture and greenery, so it won't be anything too destructive. I...

Not much to report at the moment, as this dry spell continues. Hot today and tomorrow. Not looking forward to the wind furnace tomorrow, with hot and gusty winds but thankfully it's only one day. Looking ahead, there's not too much to get excited about. Parts of Tas may do OK following the front on ...

Looks like a period of uneventful weather ahead, at least for the next 7 to 10 days. A very warm to hot weekend coming up, but otherwise fairly mild to warm for the rest of the time. At this stage, it seems there's very little if any rain on the horizon so a mostly dry period ahead, apart from weste...

Lots of lightning and a few big thunder claps early this morning, but only 0.6mm in the gauge. We had a very strong and gusty northerly overnight as well. The road ahead is looking pretty dry, with the pattern shifting after the monsoon kicked in. Hopefully it won't be a completely dry February, alt...

Hey gang, Just a curious question about Summer this year here in Melbourne specifically. I've been watching the charts this summer and anytime there is significant heat incoming and getting close to Melbourne, it seems to dissipate and head back North on the next ACCESS chart run for example. I'm n...

The fog has lifted but it's still cloudy and humid here after buckets of rain the past 2 days. A wet summer so far in Vic. And with a predominantly southerly and easterly focus, temps have been fairly moderate too. The highest temp so far is 31c here, which was way back near the start of December. I...

Surprised about Ballarat. I guess the rain bands for this system have not been especially mobile, with rain streaming over the same areas for hours. The heavy rain has stopped here. It's just drizzle and thick fog now, which I expect will hang around for much of the afternoon. We're on a massive 111...

Another 45mm here overnight and this morning. Could hear lots of thunder in the early hours, although it was mostly distant. That takes it to 88mm for the event. Frogs are chirping away, obviously loving our new wetlands. It's still raining currently, although mostly light to moderate. Heavier rain ...

43mm here. We were lucky to be on the right side of the rain band. It just poured down all day but eased off late this afternoon to light showers this evening. No thunder, just humid tropical-like rain. I don't think it could be any more saturated here now. An amazing summer so far. Would be great i...

Yes, progs are sticking fairly well now for Vic but somewhat jumpier for Tas, except maybe the far northeast. Perhaps a couple more runs will clear the picture as the movement of the low becomes more predictable. At this stage, it looks like all of Vic will see rain. We'll have a northerly kicking i...

Power is back on. It’s still raining and thundering here. That’s about 3 hours now. The lightning has been very close at times, with big overhead bangs. Just had another one shake the windows a few moments ago. Looks like it will clear from here soon. A lot more rain than I had expected - now 52mm. ...

Rain has eased off now but should continue for maybe an hour or so. Still some big booms. This has been a very active storm.
31mm so far. Not quite as intense as the boxing day storm we had here, but still pretty fierce. Power is still off unfortunately.

Absolutely bucketing down here. 23mm so far.
Wild storm. Big wind gusts. Lots of lightning and huge, house-shaking booms. Power came on and off a few times, and now it’s completely off. Definitely fits the severe storm definition.
