15.6mm so far and teamin down the last half hour. Solid and consistent rain.

I was expecting about 15mm by morning but looks like will be 25 or more!

Wetter than expected. Bendigo AWS up to 18mm and still raining. It's turned out to be a very wet April here.

Wet night in FC and still going. 30mm in total adding to the 3mm yesterday. MTD is about 100mm now. Closing in our our monthly average which (from memory) is about 125mm.

Looks like a vert wet two to three days ahead. Unstable humid westerly stream today then a strong front for tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised to get another 50mm locally, perhaps even more. Tomorrow will be a cracker with heavy rain, local hail,thunder and snow to below 1000m

Great rain for all the catchments etc setting things up.

Looking across the obs, places in central Vic look to be on track for the wettest April since 2001. Could well do better than that. Some spots with short records have broken past records.

As an aside strange set up as while we are getting these amplifying troughs coast areas west of (about) Adelaide are running very dry. Month has been dominated by cutoffs developing in easterlies. Perth hasn't had any rain for the month and is on track for its driest April on record. We've been lucky to be in the rights spot with the systems. No complaints from me

30mm to kick things off here

I see a PWS at Grovedale near Geelong had 70mm.

26mm here and still raining solidly. I think HB is right for the next few days. We could definitely get more than double of last night in the right southwesterly setup.

Very nice.

On a side note, i think today is another one of those days where BOM forecasts rain yet it's going to be mainly fine once this lot passes through. (Going by the radar)

29mm for here, had a heavy shower short time ago as a finale for now. This is on top of the 4mm earlier yesterday morning.

Rain gauge contains 20mm and a Huntsman Spider

More overnight puts us at 47mm since 4pm yesterday. No complaints here!

Impressive system! Although as stevco said, BOMS forecast for rain all day today looks a little out of whack, not a lot on radar after this moves on, anyone with a lot more knowledge than me able to shed some light on what's to come?

Macedonian · Post by **Macedonian** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 9:18 am

43mm here. Very heavy around 10pm-1am.
Sun is out now and looks like a good day on the way.

stevco123 · Post by **stevco123** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 9:34 am

Nothing on the radar but coming down quite heavily here. Almost like a very fine and heavy drizzle.

Could be wrong about today. This looks like it could continue for several hours.

snowfall · Post by **snowfall** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 9:40 am

15.8mm for us here. Certainly turning into a wet month - so far 102.7mm. The average is 68mm. The tanks are all full, and the ground is so sodden in some places that it might actually be nice for things to dry out a little! But would certainly prefer rainy weather to dry. Looks like scattered light showers appearing on the radar behind the main rain band.

Models going for light showers down closer to the coast and SE burbs so sounds about right stevco

21mm overnight here.

Tipped out 30mm this morning. Pretty much 100mm for the month here.

Adam37 · Post by **Adam37** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 10:48 am

Had 15mm last night which takes me to 100mm for the month so far, more than double the April average.

Just looked up some stats for this month and year to date on weatherzone.
