Re: Deepening low with rains and storms: January 7-10

The last time BoM had a conference advising of 200mm falls, it failed spectacularly. People were told to go home early from work, change plans etc. In the end, something like 5mm fell. At least they're abandoning their el nino narrative. Should've listened to other amateur meteorologists who declar...

Re: Wet Christmas 23 to 28 December

Just arrived home after ten days o/s. Missed all of the action here. Just emptied 133mm out of the gauge. YTD is now 1097mm. So very happy. Only one day out of the ten we were away managed to squeak above 20°. A good long period of cool weather. No days above 30° over ten months now. Love it. The C...

Re: Warm then more showers, 4/12 to13/12

This one again looks impressive and very long lived. Days of humid weather. Starts with showers and rain then sorta clears, then showers and storms return in waves. Should deliver for all of southeast Australia, and be heavy out in western Vic and South Australia which is a bit unusual. We are stuc...

Re: Becoming mild and windy, followed by a showery change: 3-8 August.

The high pressure ridge looks impenetrable on the synoptic maps. Hopefully mid to late August delivers (it often does). Starting to worry about summer. After a couple of wet years, there's quite a bit of fuel around; and if the monsoon fails during an El Nino in this day and age expect record breaki...

We're so overdue for a decent front. When was the last good one? The start of winter? :|

This is turning into the most boring winter ever.

Re: A deep low for Easter 2023

I’m disappointed. These lows tend to circle around Melbourne, sending streams of rain out west or out east, never through central (it seems). However, the autumn break is very welcome. Things have greened up and everything feels fresh. Hopefully we have an active winter.

Re: Becoming warm then hot: March 18-21

It's so dry and I'm over it. We've had a shower here and there, but it's been slim for a while now.

Question is, will we get our autumn break this year?

The sky is rumbling but there's nothing on the lightning tracker, let alone a cell on the radar. Odd

Re: Another rain bearing low: 20th - 23rd Oct

Geez, that storm near Lethbridge is intense.

Only a light drizzle here today so far, but there's stuff building on the radar now.

A few strikes would be nice on a Friday.

Re: Big rain event 12-14 October

Can't remember the last time it rained just about all night and day. Around the lower end of the estimate here, but welcome nonetheless. I haven't noticed any flooding, other than the usual areas where the water tends to collect; road swales, inadequate drains in low streets, etc. Stormy-looking sys...

Rained almost all day here, though was light and kind of boring. Hopefully this band is heavier.

Re: Big rain event 12-14 October

The heaviest rain has been jumping around for a week, so I wouldn’t have complete faith in current progs - i.e. some surprises may await (as they always do).

I don’t want to see any damage, but I really would love some heavy rain.

Re a storm season??
Yes. They haven't compared to 2011, at least not in southern vic.
