Will order another load of water, cannot hang out, hoping for later next week, to be let down once again, hopefully by doing this, it will break our cycle, Nothing in the gauge here either, just want this summer of hell, and dryness to end.

On a domestic note, something that has never happened before in April, I washed and stored the summer cotton blankets, thinking they won't be brought out till the end of the year... so warm last night, couldn't sleep, so today had to retrieve them all from the cupboards and remake the beds, ready ...

I suppose we are to be considered one of the lucky ones, although it certainly doesn't feel like it, with 52.5 for the month, ytd 115MLS. Also December :| 2024 with 43mls, the amount of shrubs, rhododendrons and trees we have to get help to remove is very saddening indeed. It is going to be a huge ...

3.5 mls here in Lilydale, keep the grass green for a bit.

3.5 mls here in Lilydale, keep the grass green for a bit.

Finished with 12.5mls, pleased somewhat.

Had a very worrying night, last night, with the fires, so grateful today for 35mls and wonderful 200 firies that turned up to help, they are heroes......

Well here in the east 1.8mm, so hardly anything to be happy about, the 29c temp tomorrow is nice though. We have a couple of 35 year old Rhododendrons to pull out when the heat eases, so sad for us, as we have nurtured them through every summer since we planted them, but this summer has broken all ...

Yes zero here as well

Dare I hope Gordon, like your chances more than mine

19.5mls for the month here.

I can't see any end to this hot and dry weather until equinox. The countryside is looking rather grim here, and trees are showing signs of stress.
No, agree, held off for as long as possible and 2 loads of water delivered. The water deliverer,(Phil's Water) was fielding calls from as far away as ...

Yes that is a pity, although us at Lilydale only got 2 mls, so nothing to get excited about either, everything still bone dry.

Yes very very dry, a dustbowl here, lost so many established shrubs, the birdlife are struggling a bit too, to find food. Quite depressing going outside and seeing it like this.

So disappointing, not even a ml.

We’ve had 4mm for February, 24mm for the year. That’s after the previous two years of rainfall being 33 percent below average. The locals say it’s never been this dry, even in 2009 or 1983. And there’s just nothing of any substance on the horizon. Quite ironic that every BOM seasonal outlook from ...

it feels like the constant, strong SE wind has not stopped down here in Berwick for a week! Will be glad to see the back of it.
Yes for sure, we are on top of a hill, and really copping it, it is relentless, several shrubs blown over, and debris,debris debris, the trees leaves are so parched and ...

Exactly James, so frustrating, got our hopes up for nothing, it is zig zagging all over the place.
