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...

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, st...

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!

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.

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.

16mm mostly overnight, with a few leftovers so far today.

Very healthy April total building for us now.

12.5mm over the past few days here.

All looking green and lush now outside.

15mm here from overnight rain and some brief heavy showers during the morning. Quite cold out tonight.

MTD now approaching 120mm.

The tap has been turned back on for us. Scored 22.5mm from rain overnight and some lingering showers this morning.

Already takes us past 100mm for April so far.

Managed to etch out a further 7mm in drizzly showers on Wednesday to take us to 80.5mm for this thread.

73.5mm here. 63.5mm of it fell before 7.30am, then we got a sharp 10mm in a torrential shower around 8am.

Cracking rain event to break the dry Feb/March period.

Raining solidly here. Initially began as a thunderstorm with close flashes and booms just before sunset. Gotta be at least 15mm so far.

Looks very wet for the next few hours too.
