A cold, drizzly, windy morning here with 9C, a couple of mm in the gauge and maybe more to come. This whole week has ended up cooler and damper than originally forecast.

Hard to believe there's probably heat lurking a few days away.

Yes it’s going to be a week of huge contrasts if next week is as hot as predicted. Feels like late Autumn here - misty and drizzly and only 11c. Just over 2mm so far.

Damp and drizzling here, everything is so green around town after last weeks downpour coupled with the high humidity this
week, I have had to mow the lawns twice this week.
Just looking at the forecast temps in nw W.A, the town of Newman ( elevation is 540m asl) has 45c
forecast for both the 26th & 27th, I’m guessing that is close to 50c at sea level?

8C overnight with drizzle and only 12.2C at home now. That's a fair bit colder than an average july max for melbourne. :D

Where is this rain we have been hearing about?
Home- "Shepherd's Bush" at Mt Macedon. 870m
Work- "Bolobek" at Macedon. 430m

Very heavy burst of rain here that developed from next to nothing. Could add up quickly if we get a few of those. Jasmine's Access map from yesterday may have been on to something, if anything with more of a western emphasis...

Certainly some nice beefy showers developing :) Isolated cloud to cloud sparks being picked up over the bays. There are converging winds over Port Philip bay squeezing into the western suburbs of Melbourne at the moment.

Beefy indeed Jasmine! We are just just just on the edge of it here in Cheltenham. Have felt a few drops but nothing significant thus far. Taking in the sky, it appears to be slowly developing overhead, so I'll just keep waiting to find out. Wouldn't mind a nice fall before the hotter weather!

EDIT (4:00PM) - Now it's starting to rain here more solidly.

This is fantastic! Rain intensity at times like last week - maybe not the duration, but we're going to get 10mm easily from this on top of 2mm to 9am - I was expecting maybe 5mm. Great finish to December!

It got over the range, light rain here and it might get heavier. Laverton currently in the convergence sweet spot and up to 18mm already. It should start drifting east soon in Melbourne

4mm so far, but we seem to have found a large gap between the streams so no rain here. Some good falls just to the east and showers to the west.

Squeezed a couple of mm's so far but not a lot getting over the range. Some nice totals south of the range.

Stat of the day, Melbourne Olympic Park just clicked over 100mm for Dec.

Up to 14mm here since 9am, 16mm for the dates and 87mm mtd. Maybe a few more mm left in it.

A very good and unexpected result, and finish to a mixed year (assuming no more rain for 2018 once this system clears).

Was so ready to poo poo this rain event - then it finally opened up with 10mm so far. Just in time for the heat that's coming later next week.
