The Australian Weather Forum

About to go bang guys and gals BOM snoozing ! Yep, it's coming. No doubt it will arrive just as I'm about to leave work. :afraid: As for the BOM, no idea why they even get mentioned on this forum at times. Nothing surprises me with them. They will no doubt release a warning after it's actually hit....

Great photos windyrob.
Very similar to what I observed last night with plenty of crawlers & thunder, including one massive crack that sent the Kelpie running for the bedroom.
Only 5mm recorded, however I'll take anything at this stage.

Not sure what to expect today.

Yep, can see it happening already on the radar as it approaches this boring pathetic dump. Everything will go north & south.

Bring on tomorrow!

A grand total of 2mm here which was barely enough to wash the path. All pretty much worthless with the dreaded return of the disgusting feral windy filth here!

I can think of a worse area to live in when it comes to weather boredom peroid.

Certainly can't complain about the conditions on the bike, absolutely perfect! Light north easterlies in the morning followed by south easterlies during the late afternoon. Tail wind the whole way. :D Escaping to the island tonight for another weekend of sensational beach weather. Would be nice to g...

Keep an eye on the radar guys, it's about to start lighting up.

Walking the dog seems to be doing the trick for me lately as far as storm activity goes. Twice I've almost been caught out in it, last week walking along the beach down on the island & last night around Burnside Heights when that brief one passed through. Last weeks island experience however was...

Check out the area of black near Bannockburn :o . Steering seems more west-east now. http://flystream.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Screenshot-2022-01-07-15.58.44.png Wouldn't rule out a possible tornado going by the movement on the radar. Probably wrong, but certainly looks very dangerous. :afraid:

17mm since 9:00am according to the Rhyll station which is the closest we have to go by.
Point Cook back in the west is over 40mm!

Here we go again, rolling thunder here & first drops falling.

I'm watching the direction of that cell with interest, could be round 3 for us too if it hold's it's current path.

11.5mm in the Nylex this morning. A total of 22.5mm for the entire event over the past three days. Not to bad I say considering many around Melbourne with nothing. Fair to say that's roughly what we got back in Burnside Heights. Very happy with that knowing we are not there to water the gardens. Me...

BANG! Direct hit here on the island. Was just on the beach moments before it hit, saw several massive bolts.

As I keep saying, all eggs in one basket, even when it comes to the storm warnings.

Looks like we picked up a few mm back at our other place from that cell passing through Laverton as I typed. Pretty marginal for our chances here on the island. Looks like drips & drabs once again.

Yep as usual the forecast and models were incorrect!! - big fail as if it doesn't rain, I will actually have to water tonight! Sorry to everyone whom i told it was going to storm and rain here today...i should have known better! Surprise surprise, yet another pathetic effort from the "all eggs...

Yeah getting the same feeling.

We have had a few showers pushing through during the day down here on the island, nothing heavy.

How does it go from basically zero rain for almost a month to a deluge? I’m tipping 10mm for the event for Melbourne CBD and huge dud. Lock in the feral humidity though! Come on Skywalker - back me up bro! lol. I'll try Daz. ;) I never hold any confidence for the Western boredom zone, however I'm d...

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 down...
