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 and ...

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 start ...

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

Thankfully the creeks and rivers have peaked. The Avoca River at Logan managed to get to minor flood level, and flash flooding has subsided at Wedderburn.

Good to hear

15mls for us so far at Lilydale, always hoping for more, but are happy with this.

Some crazy winds locally on Wednesday afternoon/evening with strong South Easterlies coming off the Dandenongs. Montrose and Kilsyth in the lee of the hills were particularly windy with quite a few trees down and a tin roof ending up in a neighbour's garden :? Relatively calm up in the hills. After ...

Yes totally agree Pengaz, 111 mls here in Lilydale, only half way through the month and double the previous 3 months already, very happy with this, coming into bushfire season.

64mm here, slow and consistent....perfect.

We too are on Tank water at Lilydale, and agree Macedonian, our tanks were too low for October, at 17000 gallons, we are now upto 19500 gallons and 39mls, so relieved to be almost full, not that I mind too much about buying some water if necessary, but the taste is not good and it isn't cheap.

A very welcome 20mls here in Lilydale this morning, will need another 1000 gallons to be full.
