September warm wave and troughs 26-28 September

Had 12.6mm's here since 8.30am.
Looks to be building from the west again now with some heavy showers indicated on radar.
Could get a few more rumbles as well - not long till it hits most of greater Melbourne.

I was just able to mention the incoming line of showers Dane but you beat me too it, lol all good mate

Yeah it looks like a few local, sporadic bursts of thunder and lightning could pop up as it comes through, some of the showers currently sweeping over the Southwest region look equally as intense, I take it that's the cold air moving into Victoria's southwest now and this is the cold front itself arriving here in Melbourne?

12.7mm so far, I'm expecting about another 5-10mm between now and 9AM, quite windy atm and only 12C outside

Upto 16mm in Upwey so doing pretty well for this "event". Last band was the heaviest of the lot so far - peak rainfall rate of 25mm/hr.

Down to just 11C here now after being 22C at 4:40am

BTW Sydney fell just short of its September record high today - missed by just over 1C. Pretty much sums this event up - lots of misses on records by 1C across QLD, NT, WA, SA and Vic. Certainly a remarkable heat event for its duration and extent.

21.1mm at my end, peak rainfall rate was 16.8mm/hr, and now sitting on 10.5C... the rain sure was heavy at times, what a day it's been! To finish it all off, one huge double rainbow and a sunset with mammatus on the backside of the cold front!

Now, onto tomorrow's cold outbreak!!

Well there's a lovely surprise, I come home to 11 mm in the gauge. Not bad at all.

G'day

I spoke too soon earlier, bout an hour after I posted it started out of nothing. We ended up with 4mm here, better than nothing I guess.

Cheers

21 mm in the gauge since the rain began this morning - much heavier & more persistent than I expected.

10.3mm today. Showers continuing and squally at times. September looking a bit more respectable rain wise now although still only around 46mm with the average around 88mm.

Capture of the amazing mammatus that blew through yesterday. Made 13.5mm here, garden all soggy again!

Love those mammatus Chris. Nice pics too windy rob. In the city for lunch and the sun was shining
