Yep, still holding this morning too. Looks like the potential for some form of low to develop this time next week? We’ve actually managed a light shower here today but hardly enough to register. Shaping up to be a great Easter long weekend for those camping. Still not seeing any true autumn break on...
I very much seeing strong parallels with March 2016 - both in terms of sea-surface temperatures and a transition from El-Nino to LaNina. We had a spectacular heatwave in early March that year (3x 39c days in a row, and 8 days in a row over 35c), before things cooled off. It also feels a bit similar...
I’m curious about these predictions of a shift back to wetter weather in March. Typically it’s one of our driest months - we often end up with an Indian summer with an extended run of warm mild weather into April. It feels like we’re on a similar trajectory again this year... Elders long range weath...
Brutal storm through here just after 4pm. I’ll never forget the noise, constant rumbling thunder and roaring wind. Didn’t get a chance to get a pic before it hit due to work, but some of the wind squalls were right up there with the strongest I’ve felt. The straight line winds felt microburst-like. ...
Returned from 10 nights down at Phillip Island to find 15.5mm here, most of it presumably from Wednesday’s rain and Thursday’s follow up showers. The Jan total keeps ticking over. Perfect beach weather for the first week with mostly light easterly winds and plenty of sun. The change to westerly flow...
Another 18.5mm here today. Constantly changing from drizzle/light rain/heavy rain all day before clearing at dinner time. 74mm for the thread. The next 7 days looks relatively sedate for Vic, although the troughy synoptic pattern continues with the highs stubbornly remaining to the south of the cont...
Up to 55.5mm here, incredible result and way beyond what a lot of the models had for progged for us. Woke up to a long torrential downpour at 2.30, but must have slept through the rest of it. Looks like the area to our west through to Pakenham copped more, saw a few VicEmergency incidents presumably...
