That thunder is next level. Been a number of years since I've heard cracks like that in short intervals (less than 30 seconds) and all close by.
Weather porn at its best

Ballarat forecast just updated: 'The chance of a thunderstorm in the morning and afternoon, possibly severe, with damaging winds, large hail and heavy falls in the afternoon and early evening.'

The last bit is new - so seems BOM think the worst (best?) is yet to come?


So basically the usual ...

So basically the usual for Melbourne, like the last 2 days. Move on. Next system please...

Nasty numbers around Melbourne. Curious that Olympic park is once again strangely cool. It is a cooler location, but suspicion is that irrigation of sports grounds is lowering temperatures in hot days. You can see this in the dewpoint which is higher than surrounding stations.

Down here a humid ...

Unfortunately it looks like another East Coast event. Finished the year at Aireys Inlet with about a third less rainfall than average, 450mm compared to an average of 625mm. That’s nearly the same rainfall deficit as the year before, making two exceptionally dry years. The December temperature ...

Probably not looking as bad as forecast for Thursday to be honest. Still bad, but not THAT bad. Melbourne Probably 35-37 degrees as the cloud moves in sooner.
Only thing I'm concerned about the fire near Mount macedon, on the change. That area is now quite populated

James Weather forecasting technology and skills are more advanced than ever. That said, it’s unrealistic to expect pinpoint accuracy for your specific suburb, today or a week ago. As I understand it, weather forecasting is less about being "all-knowing at all times" and more about giving the best ...

The absence of cold fronts seem to be impacting the rainfall patterns of Western Victoria, as they've been doing in South western WA for a while now. Those rain bands that come down from the north rarely deliver for the Surf Coast, although Saturday was an exception. 21mm for November against an ...

Drizzle picking up here now after a murky humid day. ACCESS-C has about 70mm here tonight so I’ll guess we will see.

Victoria basically tracked as expected. Great to see the Otways get some after a such a dry year. It’s very unstable over Victoria atm so would not be surprised to see rumbles next ...

4mm so far. Just about what i expected. Certainly didn't/ don't expect storms

Everything depends on the path of the low. Literally by a few kilometres

Seems to be over almost. Wind has turned a cooler southerly,l. Port philip bay surely needs a drink of water, so glad they're copping it

Yeah... a bit meh. Like there's a forcefield. Got a nice downpour but most cells go east or west of us, or come towards me, die, and then redevelop once they pass my area

Go outside and listen. No storms where i am, but hard thunder a few time. Therefore it's a storm day officially

Let me guess... once this band passes, it'll be a mainly fine day with storms on the eastern ranges?

Hygrometer stuck on 100% humidity the whole day today, even in the CBD. that's gotta be some sort of record

... and to add to the strange weather, we're having what seems like some rare sea fog moving in. Humidity almost 100% and quite breezy out there

That humidity is next level. Real Queensland type. HATE IT!

Should be the wettest part of the year, but not this year it seems

I captured this in the morning. Is it the rare Kelvin–Helmholtz cloud?
