Warm to hot, then rain and storms: Nov 21-29

4.5mm on Sunday and 7.5mm through to this morning from bands of very light rain, although a bit heavier this morning. We finally got some sun mid afternoon after almost 2.5 days of thick cloud cover and humidity. I’m expecting to wake up to rumbles during the night. Very muggy forecast for the rest o ...

Becoming warm with a possible thundery change: November 11-13

7.5mm here, 4.5mm from a thunderstorm with hail around 7pm last night and then another 3mm from a heavy shower earlier this morning. Just enough to keep things green a bit longer and take the edge off recent dry spell. If we hadn’t got some of those decent drops in September and October, it would h ...

Grand Final Weekend front

We missed out here yesterday with just 1.75mm, meaning we fell just shy of cracking the ton for September.

99mm for the month, no real standout falls, just accumulation from regular fronts.

Rain, gales, heat, storms and snow to end winter: August 20-

What a memorable event. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such prolonged and sustained high winds, maybe barring some of the worst of the east coast lows I saw growing up as a kid in Sale. 15mm for the dates. Just got power back in Warragul at 8pm after it went out around 3am. No phone or internet ...

Rain, gales, heat, storms and snow to end winter: August 20-

Wild here for the last 24 hours, little rain though. Bit behind on posts but the storm we got on Sunday night was a beauty. 8.5mm in quick time with a bit of hail and strong straight line winds, one of the most lightning active I’ve seen for a long time. Our August rain tally looks pretty meagre, ...

Vigorous westerly stream with a series of fronts: July 19-

Another 29.5mm from yesterday and overnight. Had some dumping heavy showers yesterday afternoon.

Interesting how localised rainfall has been around here lately with quite a bit of variation on each side of the town.

MTD now ~110mm.

Deep ECL with heavy rain, gales, storm surge and some snow

An even 50mm for us here. Was wild for a few hours last night with horizontal rain and strong gusts. Very wet around here now.

Easterly low followed by a series of fronts: July 9-

30mm here since Monday night. Best drop since April, with hopefully some follow up over the coming days to get our winter rainfall totals back on track. Certainly very wet outside which speaks to how cold it’s been lately.

Sure is. Only faint to the naked eye but much clearer in the photos. First time I’ve ever witnessed this!

A touch under 14mm here since Thursday night. Quite solid overnight Thursday into Friday morning despite the forecast. Nice surprise to break up the dry spell.

Hoping the skies clear up tonight to see some Aurora action.

April 23-25: stronger front and possible low

Bleak here this morning. Stream showers in our favoured southwesterly flow. Looks like we’ve had about 3mm but expect we’ll add to that.
