3mm overnight to keep things ticking over. Up to 58mm now for August on the 11th day 100 year August ave is 84mm. I have a feeling August has plenty more to come. Haven't had pressure over 1030 hPa since the change in weather pattern in early July. Only 4 frosts since.....quite unusual but that is what negative SAM's do up here.
Good to see quite a few gauges around Melbourne got into double figures this morning.

Another disappointing result. The fronts seem to be skint by the time they reach this area.
YTD even lower than last year, and by a wide margin. Hoping for a turnaround
How much rain you get this morning? I drove to Carrum Downs about 8am where it didn't seem that wet, and then back at Cranbourne West it was still coming down pretty hard.
12mm here overnight and this morning and about 3mm today. Had lots of rumbles, from cells all around including a couple overhead, but cells are mostly small and sparse so rainfall hasn’t lasted long. Had plenty of small hail.
Looks like the wind change of sorts is pushing through the city. Nice band on it, but slipping away a bit.
Temperature here is down to 4.4C so about a degree off snow weather here now
Temperature hovering in the 3s here with bit of hail, rain and sleet. Still a degree or so too warm for snow.
Radar looks ok atm, and scored 18mm here today. Showers quite frequent atm. Tending to think we should get the odd flurry tonight, but it’s pretty marginal with the freezing level dropping to about 850m and 850Ts just touching on -4C.
Here’s a photo of hail here earlier. Got a similar cover on about four occasions under different hail showers.
Just had some more snow, quite heavy for a while, everything started to turn white but then it stopped. Grrr. The mountain looks like its splitting the showers on the radar. Frustrating because its down to 1.2C now.
Home- "Shepherd's Bush" at Mt Macedon. 870m
Work- "Bolobek" at Macedon. 430m
Coldest night for the year here with 1C but no snow. We had a shower about 4am and I woke up but no sign of anything frozen and the precip I did see falling was slight rain. Possible there was a flurry. I did see a little sleet about 6pm and again about 8pm, but nothing I would quite call snow. About 19mm for the last day and a bit so a handy fall. MTD close to 50mm here so running close to average
Warm air advection kicking in now so will get drizzle later today.
These westerlies and frequent fronts go the whole week ahead. Possibility of a strong cold outbreak next weekend
New thread or just extend this one for another week?
