It’s certainly felt like a long hot summer to me HB, those temp stats and trajectory make sense. It’s been the average temps and overnight temps that I’ve noticed most this year. Long runs of mid-high 20s days and no real cold outbreaks. We’ve had heaps of nights where it’s felt hot for sleeping.

I ...

13mm here today to kick off our account for 2025.

We ended up with a bit under 850mm for 2024 here at my place, our lowest annual total for at least 5 years. Could’ve been a lot lower had it not been for two very good months in April and July.

Got another bonus 7mm in showers today to give our paltry December total a boost

Hoping for some nice calm and mid 20s weather over new years for our trip down the coast.

Much needed 9mm here last night, with showers still rolling through this morning. Hoping we can score another 5mm today to green things up a bit.

First hot and dry start to summer here for almost 5 years I reckon. Has that feel like one of those long summers from back in the millennium drought in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Up to 19mm here now and another round inbound. Lots of thunder with this one.

Good solid rain here too for the past hour. Gauge looks like its already up to 10mm.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

11mm from yesterdays band of rain.

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.

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.

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.

Rained all day here yesterday, plus a few short sharp showers overnight. 13mm to salvage another dry month.

21mm for the date range. Had some decent winds on Tuesday.

Calm and very cold this morning.

13mm here, to give our May total an eleventh hour bump up

10mm here from yesterday’s showers. Makes our low May total a little less of an outlier.

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