Warming up for New Year's - Dec 28 to Jan 3

[Tassiedave]

Very warm already in the north and east of Tassie. Friendly Beaches on the East Coast already 31 degrees before 10.00 am. Don't often see those sort of temperatures so early in Tassie.

The change has finally made it through here, with the temp slowly falling. Had a peak of 35.6c today and currently 24.9c. A very light shower just passed through and might be a couple more judging from the radar, though nothing much in it. Glad the heatwave is over!

Models are mostly holding for a rain event from about mid next week. Need to wait a bit to see how it evolves, but so far most areas of the state are looking good.

Only 25mm for December here.

Managed to just sneak over the 1000mm mark for the annual total, but I’m surprised at how dry it’s got despite the wet spring and no real intense heat until the last week of December.

Max of 24C here in the end. Just shy of 1mm on the change. Humid now with stratus at about 200m. A showery day tomorrow then a big big rain event. Do need it in the southeast with a dry run of weeks. Gone from sodden to dry in just on four weeks.

We got to 38.5C here yesterday, had a few distant rumbles from within a couple of high based cumulus clumps. Muggy calm overcast 30C here today so far.

A real temperature difference between north and south of Tassie at the moment. Whilst us northerners are sweltering in 30 degrees, Hobart folks have a chilly 17 degrees with the sea breeze

[Tassiedave]

Launceston has recorded three consecutive days over 30 degrees. The last time it occurred was Jan 20/21/22 in 2019.

[Petros]

Got to 30.5C today, only partly sunny this arvo, with a weak southerly breeze setting in late arvo to drop temps back. Storms up Orbost way, nothing in Nth Central Gippy.
