The Australian Weather Forum

Very wet in Tassie in the last couple of months. Catchments are saturated. Here at Grindelwald 15 km north of Launceston I received 150 mm in July and 66mm in the first six days of August

Big falls in South East Tasmania today with a big LOW sitting off our East Coast. Hobart is up to 33mm Mount Wellington 76 mm. Only 2.4 mm in Launceston which is typical of this weather pattern.

The driest place on the Eastern seaboard of Australia in June might surprise you. Check out the "Tas Forum" for details.

Launceston would have to be one of the driest places on the Eastern seaboard this June. Only 24mm of rain recorded. We missed completely the cut off LOW in mid June. The dry spell goes back further with less than 30mm since May 17th. With less than 250mm for the year to date we are well down on aver...

Feeling jealous here in Northern Tassie we look like the only place in South East Australia to miss out on this event completely. 0 mm so far in Launceston.

Heavy Rain forecast for Launceston tomorrow, 30 - 60 mm according to the bureau. A flood watch is out http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDT20620.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and also a Severe weather warning http://www.bom.gov.au/tas/warnings/severe.shtml&quo...

Hi Geoff Liawenee is about 100 km from here on the central plateau, the day they got that big storm we got 0.6 mm here in the Tamar Valley. Exciting times in the next week 75 to 100mm forecast for the central north of Tassie. Thursday is forecasting heavy rain in Launceston.

Got to 32 degrees in Launceston today, that's five days above 30 in a row. Forecast tomorrow is 29 and showers, I'm hoping we can sneak 30 again to keep the run going right through to Wednesday. We are In for a warm night. Minimums above 20 are extremely rare here but it could be on the cards tonight.

In Launceston we have reached 30 degrees for the fourth day in a row. By next Thursday this run could extend out to 9. Certainly unprecedented for March. In years gone by we could go whole summers without reaching 30 so this weather is extraordinary. Yesterday was our highest ever March temperature ...

Launceston had its highest March temperature ever yesterday reaching 33.0 degrees, this breaks the previous record of 32.9 set in 2008. The next six days are forecast to be above 30 degrees. Nothing like this has happened before certainly not in March but any month. Some years we are lucky to get 5 ...

Launceston's average for March is 22.5 degrees, so far this month we have had maximum temperatures of 24,27,27,28,30. Forecast for the days ahead is 31,32,29,30,28,30,31. So by the 12th of March our average could be an amazing 29 degrees!! This has to be some sort of record. Oh and we have had no ra...

Hi everyone, I'm reading here about all this rain on the way yet the BOM Melbourne forecast for next Wednesday to Friday is "Mostly Sunny" with temperatures hovering around the 30 mark.

In Grindelwald 15km north of Launceston in Tasmania we had 14.4 mm for January, well below the average.

Looks like another dry change Thursday/Friday here in Northern Tasmania with no prospect of rain in the outlook. Clouds may keep the temperature down only forecast 26 in Launceston tomorrow.

Very dry here in the central north of Tassie. At Grindelwald in the Tamar Valley we've had only 4mm of rain since December 20.

28.3 degrees at Launceston Airport currently, Launceston going for a maximum of 32 degrees which is unusual considering the weak change is through.

Can somebody please enlighten me how Mildura can have South Westerly winds today and still reach 43 degrees?

Tassie ABC news reports 60 buildings damaged or destroyed in Dunalley in today's fire.

Very hot down here in Tassie, fires extensive now, south of Bicheno, Lake Repulse, Dunalley (properties lost), Eaglehawk Neck, Tasman Peninsula. Very hot throughout the state, places on the North Coast like Devonport were only 23 degrees, benefitting from Bass Strait cooling. Still 38 in Hobart and ...

Record temperature in Hobart last night after 130 years of records, 25.7 degrees. It was 27 degrees at 6 am.
