The Australian Weather Forum

Hi Sharon, I'm no weather expert at all but I know that can happen. I've heard Karl talk about how it's been pelting down at his place and just up the road zilch. When I was in Barcelona I remember this rain pouring down about 100 metres from where we were standing at the bus stop and we were perfe...

I'm a bit late posting this, but I jumped on here Sunday morning to see how much rain people had recorded on Saturday night, and was surprised to see nothing much mentioned. I dont have a rain guage, so no figures, but about 4am or so, it absolutely pelted down here in Gembrook. It lasted for about ...

Wonderful idea there Lily! Well done! I see there are some quite cold haily showers moving through just around the outer eastern suburbs. Are these producing much rain there? I think tomorrow could see more of the same, but becoming less frequent? I woke up to very heavy rain at about 7.30 this mor...

I just had some very heavy rain here in Gembrook. It was so sudden and loud,I thought we were having another of those March hailstorms. Thankfully it wasnt.

The Bureau of Meteorology warns that, at 2:15 pm, severe thunderstorms were detected on weather radar near the area east of Mt Dandenong, the area south of Healesville and Gembrook. These thunderstorms are moving towards the south to southeast. They are forecast to affect Bunyip, the area east of P...

Thank you lily, I have sent a reply.

The message didnt come through to my email, is it meant to?

Of course we're going to have torrential rain...I'm going camping :( Just tell me I'm not going to get a repeat of the New Years Day storm I had at lake at lake eildon. Sharon, a good chance of storms on Friday (north of the divide in particular). This will be more of a rain event than the NYE/NYD ...

No wind in Gembrook, and it doesnt look like we had more than a couple of showers overnight. I havent got a rain guage yet, but it doesnt look like we had much at all.

Am I too late to have a guess??

If not, my guess is 226mm. Thanks

No snow in Gembrook either, but its been absolutely freezing and I have been expecting it all day.

Still nothing here at all. I'm in that little pocket on the radar that is completely clear. I guess it will hit soon though.

I've now heard of reports of damages car in Kensington, Glen Waverly, Belgrave and Kalissta- make one wonder how many car have been damaged. This damage bill from this could be huge. Took me a couple of hours to get through to the insurance company and when I did, they had 160 calls waiting to be a...

I was at the movies in Belgrave. The power went out twice, the roof sprung a leak and I was terrified the roof was going to fall in. Its a pretty old building. Came out to dents all over my car :grumpy: Road was a mess most of the way home, trees down, lots of branches and debri on the road. Not so ...

On another note, I am yet to see (kill) a white tail spider this summer. They are non existent. Huntsmans yes, whitetails no. Perhaps another sign this thing is finally breaking. I guess I am showing my ignorance here, but what have the spiders got to do with the weather?? Or vice versa?? I have ha...

Yes i didnt have a chance earlier, welcome Sharon to the forum! Hope you learn lots about the beautiful climate that is Melbourne. Thanks for all the welcomes :) I found this forum after spending new years night camping during that big storm. That one that you guys were all excited about and I was ...

Welcome Sharon glad your getting it.

Thanks johnno, me too. Any rain we get cuts down risk of fires, so its all good.

Bucketing down again right now!!

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, but I'm finding it fascinating (even though I only understand about half of what you say). I live in Gembrook and we have had some pretty good falls of rain overnight and this morning. Dont have a rain gauge, but Im gonna try and pick one up this week. Keep up the good...
