Great to see lots of rain falling in parts of the central area. We tend to get quite rain shadowed in these westerly setups, so only 40mm for the month and about 6mm for the event so far. But the cooler temps and regular falls are keeping the area green, with good growing conditions, so can't complain. It definitely beats hot and dry!
Been nothing but cloudy, windy, dribs & drabs crap here today.
We had fun yesterday with all the hail & shower activity so can't really complain too much.
Caroline Springs, Melbourne's meteorological boredom zone.
Cold rainy day in the Nongs with another 4mm or there abouts. Foggy with intermittent showers ATM. An old fashion winters day
Spent most the day in the Yarra Valley and made it up to Lake Mountain. Fantastic cover - was about 30cm deep, with some drifts over 50cm above 1400m. Snow settled to about 800m. Best snow I've seen there in a long time at this time of year. I did ski Lake Mountain in early November 2003 (from Memory that was the year) and there was more than 50cm of snow at 1400m so would probably make it the best low level snow up there in more than 10 years for the time of year Was heavy snow for much of the three hours we were up there, though temperatures were rising and by 3pm it was raining below about 1200m.
Here's a few photos I took - got heaps more and will look to put them up.
Just shy of 7mm in the gauge this morning. Currently thick fog and light drizzle. Might yet get a mm or two more.
The garden is sodden 52mm for the event and 115mm in the past 8 days (just 2mm to our monthly average). Never one to complain about rain as I know at this time of year it could be 40C and windy in a week or two
Event is really one that’s split the state. Even in central parts totals range from less than 5mm to more than 100mm
First reasonably good weather day in Tassie for a while today. The west has copped heaps of rain/snow this week. Looking further north I notice there has been focus on next Tuesday for the QLD/NSW bushfires with deteriorating conditions. However if I'm reading ACCESS G correctly next Sunday to the following Tuesday looks absolutely horrendous for the fire area with the red heat line going beyond the coastline. Would that mean 40 plus for Brisbane in November?

Looking like a rather cool November on the cards this year, in comparison to more recent years of course.

ATM any northerly is going to spike. OZ is running very hot (yep hard to believe down here in our little corner ) and intensely dry. Tuesday looks very bad. Catastrophic on the forecast. Around Sydney the EC meteogram has temperatures peaking near 40C, dewpoints dropping well negative and winds gusting over 40 knots. That is a horrible set of numbers
Milder mostly fine day here in the end. A max of 12C, so chilly but first day since Thursday to bet above 10C. Amazing that most the snow has melted in just one day. Just patchy now at most the resorts.
Weekend ahead looks pretty uneventful for us. Westerlies but mainly coastal stuff. Guess new thread time.
Not good at all up north, plenty of CFA and SES heading up north to assist for Tuesday
Meanwhile I was borderline hypothermic riding down Lake Mountain yesterday morning, 1C and light rain at the top with a decent 5-10cm of wet snow still up top, snow patches down to almost the ticket box.
It is hard to believe that just a few hours north of here they will be having close to 40° we have been extremely lucky and protected from the heat
I would love to know if the temp differential between ie Melb and selected locations in NSW is at record levels
