A bit early to be writing off winter though? June was slightly below average for temps across most of Victoria, and most of Victoria had average to above average rainfall. Fits with what 'feels' like a normal winter to me. Today was mild (relatively speaking) but we get a pre frontal day like this at least a couple of times each winter. And we are only 5 days in to July?
Just don’t like the look of the progs. Looks and feels really El Niño like atm. Reminds me a lot of years like 2002, 2006 and 2009. In many of these spring hits with a bang in August. June was basically one rain event. Gut feeling is that we’ve got only another month before spring hits with a bang It’s one of those things i hope to be very wrong about... and winter grinds on til OctoberA bit early to be writing off winter though?

Not quite crazy warm air over us yesterday and overnight. Considering we had cloud pretty much all day, to get lots of sites near 20C in the metro area in the first week of July is very odd. If we get/got that air mass last week of July we’d be breaking records all over the place.Bizarre. 19.4 degrees in Moorabbin Airport at the moment. It’s been warming up all evening. Will it crack 20.....
Awesome to see those totals Dave. Shame most of Vic missed this one. Classic winter rainband which really fills the soils, creeks and dams.Rainfall since 9am Thurs: Pine Tree Rivulet 74mm, Mt Victoria 37mm, Sheffield 33mm, Deloraine 29mm, Cressy 28mm, Launceston 25mm, St Helens 7.2 mm, Hobart 5mm
