Vic rainfall deciles for 2024 tell the story - you can clearly see the reasonable rain for Melbourne's eastern suburbs, vs the poor year for the likes of Lighthouse and me.

Things would have been even more dire ...

wow 5000 litres is extremely low, $700 is still way cheaper than water rates and beautiful rainwater the majority of the time is such a plus. We don't think we would accept town water if offered to hook up now, after 42 years we manage pretty well. It was more of a problem when the children were at ...

Very fortunate to receive 994.5mls for the year. As we are on tank water it is extremely important for us.

We are grateful for the 22mls and still drizzling we got from this cold front, certainly dampened the dust and reduced the fire risk.

We are grateful for the 16mls here, considering so many missed out.

Finished up with 67.5 mls for the month, and so far 951mls for YTD, so above average of 895mls,things are looking up tankwise, 3/4 full now.

The south west and Surf Coast keep missing out. 1mm in Aireys Inlet for the event and on track for our driest November ever and currently running more than 200mm below average for the year. Another record dry month will mean five such record dry months in the past year. It’s seriously dire.
Yes ...

YTD 900 mls so far, so above average, just so erratical rainfall, lots or nothing

Very dissapointingly, have to say,"nothing here either in Lilydale", ...it seems we have only just missed out, doesn't look like much in the other band slowly coming over, hope Iam wrong....

A fabulous 71 mls here, tanks are replenished and the tea tastes better.

When you are on Tank water, as we are, it is particularly disappointing

I agree, I have been seeing inaccuracies in temps for this area, for a few weeks now,vast difference to what I am witnessing in Lilydale. Thanks for sharing.

Full cloud, 23C, light winds and a few spots or rain here. BOM's max temp for us revised down to 32C from 35C a few days ago.

We've dried out a lot in the last few weeks, so not underestimating the impact/ fire risk with the strong winds forecast for later today, but with this cooler, damper ...

Very very dangerous, so stay well away from that region...

Yes very concerning for all those towns, know that area very well.

Yes agree, thunderstorms and 5mls,so far, no warning, pleasant surprise.

Yes it can be hard to prepare for the day when this is not forecasted correctly. 5c cooler and very wet here in Lilydale. Tools all wet now
