27 mm so far, total when it's finished will be interesting, too hard to guess at this stage. For what it is worth as I do not take a great deal of credence in the rainfall rate but the Davis has 250mms/h as a maximum, it sure was HEAVY!
Happy with 9.2 mm of light soaking rain, no need for watering today. I didn't water last night either as I was hopeful for enough rain to do the job, which eventuated.
Storm rapidly developing as it approaches here, just may get get a decent fall of rain. Only 1.8mm today so should pass that easily as the radar is showing red.
2.6mm to start the day off, the potential I feel is there for more widespread rain today. Storms? Happy to do without any if they were to be as severe as some had yesterday.
It's been absolutely beautiful conditions down here on the island. Should remain quite pleasant compared to the horrific conditions expected back in the western desert during the next few days. :firey: Have to do a quick drive back tomorrow night as my wife has to work on Friday, then it's back dow...
Very interesting synoptic situation developing on Friday. Quite an impressive inland Low with pressure down to 995 HPa into Southern NSW/NE Vic expected. Todd River in flood after 100mm+ yesterday in Alice Springs :o A man has been rescued from the rapidly flowing Todd River after clinging to a tre...
There are currently 59 requests for assistance on the Vic Emergency app within a 5km radius of here. Building damage, flooding, rescue. Continuously getting pings on the tablet with more requests being received
Family sending me pics of my old area in North Dandenong. Absolutelt flash flooded. Onetahuti, i hope you're ok? All fine here thanks. The street was just a sheet of rushing water at the height of the deluge, 36mm on the Davis consol, will check manual gauges when it stops which it just about has.
Collecting the mail today I noticed that the ants are swarming around a top of the brickwork, looks like they are putting a wager on that next day or two are going to be wet. Are they going to collect is the question that will be answered in due course.
Similar to Stevco I had doubts about my Davis showing 45mm even though I had 'tweaked' it recently as the Melbourne Water site around 2 kms away had 36mm. (I had forgotten to empty my manual gauges.) However checking local PWSs they had around 40 - 46mm so I will accept what mine said. A great fall,...
Just 5.6 mm so far most of which has fallen in the last half hour. Earlier it was spotting rain or was very light drizzle both ways walking into see the partner in aged care, had no choice about venturing out as today is the first day in four weeks that visitation has been allowed.
The main part of the event seems to have largely passed with the possibility of just a few showers remaining. Here I have recorded 58mm since yesterday morning so 68mm for the whole event time frame. Happy to leave it there! Closely watching that cyclone out west ( family lives there ) and it has no...
