Managed to squeeze out 5mm here from showers on Wednesday.
Everything is very green around here at the moment after the soak we got a fortnight ago. Looks like we might get a chance to add to our September tally next week, but I expect we’ll be well short of our monthly average.

Re: Becoming cold, wet and windy with a front followed by a deep low: September 4-7
Another 29mm here since yesterday morning. Only some short breaks in stream showers overnight and this morning. It’s still raining solidly now. We managed to miss the worst of the winds here. Cold but no hail in any of the showers. This is a pretty good/normal start to spring for us. Hopefully gives...

Re: Becoming cold, wet and windy with a front followed by a deep low: September 4-7
Geez it’s bleak here today. Probably up there with the worst day of winter back in June.
5mm last night. Plenty more since with thick sideways drizzle morphing into steady rain since lunchtime.

Re: Becoming cold, wet and windy with a front followed by a deep low: September 4-7
19mm from last nights heavy rain, which stopped around midnight.
Have had some beefy showers including hail this morning to add another mm or so to the gauge. Much colder out there today.

Re: Becoming cold, wet and windy with a front followed by a deep low: September 4-7
Yep, been pouring here since sunset. Looks like most amateur stations around here have already clocked up over 10mm.
Came through in a big gusty change late this afternoon.
Looking like a wetter week for us after a magic weekend.

Re: Becoming cold and showery, with snow on the alps: August 17-25
A welcome 20mm here, we seemed to do a lot better than the local aws to our east in the follow up with thick drizzle all night and throughout most of today. Just getting enough out of these events over the past few weeks to keep things wet, but after a solid June, we’re still well down on our typica...

Ended up quite a wet weekend here. 30mm from Friday through to mid morning today.
This rain coincided with peak leaf drop on many of our deciduous trees… mess!

Re: A cold shower start to May: 1-7
17.5mm here over Tuesday and Wednesday.
After the mild end to April this week has been a shock to the system.
Looking forward to another 10-15mm over the weekend.

Re: Two more lows 12-18 April
Steady rain all night here to give us 26.5mm. Another great top up. Had been in a dry lull between bands for an hour or two this morning, but rain has since returned and is now coming in thick from our favoured south west. Too wet to do anything today, so hoping to see the rain totals rack up further.

Re: A deep low for Easter 2023
7.25mm Thursday night, 10mm Friday night and 8mm through to this morning to give us just over an inch and consolidate the good rain we got in late March.
Still getting light showers here today with brisk SW wind.

Re: Complex cut off low with rain and storms:March 26-31
I tipped out 40mm late this afternoon for rain since yesterday morning. Autumn is officially here and it’s finally cooling off. After an initial period of heavy rain yesterday morning (which I missed due to working in the city) which appeared to deliver the first half of the rain, we had our favoure...

Re: Becoming cooler with showers and storms, possible snow on alps: March 5-10
A handy 8.5mm in follow up rain overnight, taking us to over an inch for the week and hopefully snuffing the last of the fire risk this season for this part of the world. Quite cold out there today. Blustery northerly winds over the past two days were enough to blow over some of my fruit trees that ...

Very welcome 17.5mm here overnight. Was pretty loud at times around 1am waking up some of the kids.
After the heat over the weekend and predominantly dry February, it felt like a mini autumn break of sorts.

Re: Long hot spell: February 14-24
Good heat out there now, nudging 38 at the nearby aws but reckon it’s hotter than that here.
High based storm cell to our south has been rumbling away for the past half hour. Throwing up a good anvil so the strong radar echoes are believable.
Feels like a throw back to the millennium drought days.

Re: Becoming cooler with showers and storms, snow on the alps: Feb 1-5
Managed to etch out another 10mm through to this morning, with thick classic southwesterly drizzle setting in all day yesterday verging in rain at times.
34.5mm for the event. Magic for this time of year!

Further 7.5mm since last post from frequent showers, mostly overnight. Takes us to 24.5mm for the event.
Missed the best of the coldies here yesterday, but drove through a nasty one just east of Pakenham around 4pm yesterday arvo. I was surprised by how much lightning it was throwing out!
