0.6mm in the gauge this morning with a few spits outside ATM. Strong rainshadow in play today, so picking the final totals south of the divide will not be straight-forward. I'm tending to think 15mm here. Northern side of the divide will have a wild, wet and windy day. Good set up for runoff up there.
Going to be a case of raining piling up on the northern slopes of the divide, and going missing as it goes south. Then a secondary bounce, which typically occurs somewhere near the southeastern suburbs. Rain becomes more extensive later in the day just before the westerly change. Winds are very gusty here ATM with garden furniture walking around the back deck
In the alps, a dismal start to school holidays (thinking people driving up will be wondering the sense of hitting the OZ ski fields
).
BTW how's France? 45.9C overnight, breaking the old national June record by 4.4C and the all months record by 1.8C. Not sure I've seen something quite that extreme anywhere before
I've looked at OZ to see if there are any notable records to compensate, and for June we've broken about 5 times more warm records than cold one. The warm ones tend to go unnoticed during winter.
