Heavy drizzle and fog this morning. 4mm in the gauge, And currently falling at 5-10mm/hr. Don’t expect it to last long, but a nice way to welcome the day. We’ve just cracked 119mm MTD which puts us 0.2mm above our long term average. That means we’ve had above average in May, June, July, August, September and November. Shame about October. This type of run is pretty much out of my experience in living here for 20 years... but drive a couple hours north of here and almost every month has been below average
Nearly all the rain has been showery coastal stuff.
Looks like the odd shower and wind will be the feature of the week ahead. Stubborn swly flow dominating. Won’t be much for most, but likely to add up in the usual wet spots.
One photo this morning and the temperature trace. Horribly dry airmass went through overnight. Dewpoints that low are extremely rare up here, and would be just about unprecedented in spring. The record/near record IOD and sudden stratospheric warming has desiccated Australia to a point which is really worrying. If it stops raining things will dry out very quick
