Only 0.7mm here, so a big miss for us unfortunately. Good to see some areas had a decent fall though, but clearly hit and miss in central areas.

We had 3 quick downpours totaling about 8mm, the last of which was the heaviest around 3pm.

A few spits the last 24 hours, but nothing to add to our 3mm. There is a sneaky front coming up for tomorrow which might drop a few mm's particularly through South Gippsland up to the Yarra Ranges. Can see it to the west of Mt Gambier ATM.

System starting to show up for next week.

Ha... turns out the drizzle is turning into a bigger event than the storms here. Teeming down at the movement with 5mm so event up to 8mm. Torrential soaking drizzle the Scottish Highlands would be proud of :D Looks like continuing most the day. Only 60mm to our monthly average.

Locally the our nearby AWS has now had 14mm and a friend nearby is up to nearly 20mm for the event which shows the patchy nature of this system.

11mm of drizzle here today. Good pick by the models which had a very showery day out here with warm air advection swly flow. Event just shy of 15mm so not great, but not a complete dud. Local aws scored 20mm all up.

Birds, frogs, yabbies and bugs certainly enjoyed the rainy day :D
