Well, it's a tropical downpour here with the change....

Yep, completely backed off.

Looking forward to a cooler and drier week ahead though, with max temps in low to mid-20s. Nice.

Crazy divergence in forecasts. 0-60mm on Friday. Mad.

We've gone from totally brown lawns to lushness in the past week.

Friday has downgraded, but still a good chance of another 15-40mm here. Farmers are having a tough time trying to harvest damp crops atm.

IC still reckons 60mm here on Friday-Saturday, but significant tropographic influence will make it patchy downwind of the Great Divide again.

Anyway, I will note there has been a notable lack of polar air drifting over us this Spring. The climate seems to go more sub-tropical in summer now...

Being on the Northern slopes has helped us overnight. The strongly -ve IOD has finally kicked in and is having an affect.

Nearly 70mm in the past 10 days. YTD = 520mm at Bendigo AWS.

19mm overnight. Very very humid still.

Bendigo YTD is 497mm which is just 50mm below the Annual mean, so we are closing in and may exceed it in the coming week or so.

Looks like 15-20mm possible tonight, and potentially a very very wet Friday if some of the forecasts verify...

13mm today (all this morning). That makes it 50mm for the past week.

Some rain near Swan Hill/Kerang on the radar. Meanwhile, 18z GFS and IC have little or no rain now forecast for the rest of the week. Very jumpy model outputs.

Today was fairly non-eventful tbh. Tuesday might be a bit stormy.

48mm in the past week.

About 10mm this morning. Now clearing.

Decent storm near Heathcote. Coming in from the East.

Still a huge amount of divergence in forecast rainfall over the weekend. No idea what we'll end up with tbh - 5mm or 60mm? Dunno....

Some weird totals being thrown up. Ie. 226mm near Woomelang on UKMet 18z - yeah right.

Only a few drops of rain with front this afternoon. Nothing of note.

What is of note was the massive 85 km/h wind gust associated with the change. Temp dropped 9 degrees.

Going by the forecast charts, the cutoff Low/inland trough is going to hang around until early next week. A very persistent pattern which will make things quite toasty over the Nullabor later next week.

We've just made it to our monthly November average. Will likely exceed it in the next 3 days.

Sun is now shining....

Cold front is likely to hit around 1pm. The soundings indicate it could get intense.

23mm overnight. 37mm this week. Very damp outside.

I just walked outside and I was like "Hello Sydney! (in February)"...

CBD in town had a couple of mm earlier this afternoon. Nothing at Kangaroo Flat.

14mm since Sunday takes our November MTD to 19mm. Still well below average.

Sun is shining this morning, which is nice. Sydney-ish humidity though.
