I'm at the point of modifying travel plans this Christmas Day due to the threat of severe storms unloading large rain quantities on our place. I wish that was an option for us - not looking like the best day for a trip to the eastern suburbs! Only slight positive is it looks slightly less wet there...

'Possible heavy falls' now in our BOM forecast for Christmas Day. That's up from 'Possible shower' yesterday morning, then 'Showers' yesterday afternoon. Apparently, BOM like to break it to us gently! Will be great to get more rain, although not looking forward to the Christmas drive across Melbourn...

Time for a new thread. As discussed a few times in the previous thread, it's beginning to look a lot like (a wet) Christmas.
Now all but two models I can see predict a rainy period, starting as early as the 23rd.

Yes, that certainly turned into a cracker of a thread! 87mm here from 9 days straight of rain - and we're at the lower end compared to many. Back to dry - and mild to warm - for a few days, before showers return at the end of the week. This morning's WATL has most of Vic down for 15mm plus for 7th t...

When’s the sun going to come out?! Can’t remember an almost sunless week like this in Melbourne for a year or two. 8 proper rain days in a row here - a first for 2023 at least. Btw, might be time for a new thread? At least a bit of significant weather showing up towards the end of the week after a ...

52mm here since the rain started early yesterday morning. Still going - mainly the same dense small droplet stuff that confuses the radar, but it sure adds up!
Haven't done the exact math, but our November total will be looking a lot less embarrassing than it was a week ago.

Rain here appears light due to small droplet size, but is actually quite 'thick' and drenching if you have to go out in it (like I just did to check our overflowing water tanks!).
We're up to 20mm since this lot started early this morning, and it shows no sign of backing off.

Surprised that the media aren’t really talking about this system. Strikes me as potentially very nasty for the worst affected regions. Suspect they're struggling with the mental gear shift from the El Nino heat/drought/fire thing, to this. Steady rain set in here and may have to light the fire agai...

No temp over 20° for a whole week either. Great rain totals for you as well Macedonian. Our mere 20mm is good enough for us; especially as it looks like adding into a lovely long spell of wet, cool weather. Keeps us green, stock well-fed, and pushing fire risk back. No 30C days as yet this spring, ...
