Up to 27.3mm - that's just over an inch!

Still coming down too - lovely wet day here!

Baro is reading 994 and I have had 23.1mm of rain, lovely!

Hi all!

Just woke up to 15.8mm of rain and still falling! Looks like there will be some ripper totals by the time this system is all done and dusted!

I know the feeling about the dogs. Been dodging my Jack Russell's dirty paws all week, she is particulary bad at jumping up on things including people. :P I'm a long time Epping boy, born, raised & lived there right up until 2 years ago. Ha! So literally up the road! :D Well I dare say that Epp...

Good morning all, wow Leasy that is a fantastic result down the rd from my old neck of the woods. :D A total of 11.7mm here for the event. Yeah, was pretty stoked with that result, I think it was mainly from drizzle but it's better than nothing - although, my dog likes to jump on my bed at night an...

Another 8.5mm here which brings the event total to 30.7mm

Pretty good if you ask me!

Another 4.3mm in the gauge today which brings me to a total of 12.7mm for this system, not a bad drop at all!

7.4mm here and still coming down - not a bad effort! Temp has dropped to 15.8c and the wind is coming from the NE - if there was lightning I didn't see it as I was slogging it at the gym, but the rain has been great - bring it on! :D Edit: Great pics and vids guys! Wish I could have gone out there! :D

Just got back from the gym, found an extra 4.2mm in the gauge which means 7.4mm for the day - not bad at all! Did get quite a downpour, but not as biblical as you lucky guys in the South Eastern suburbs! Currently 12c DP 9c and 82% RH Wind is now SW @ 5.4kph Not bad for the first storm of the season...

Damn, I'm too far north here - temp has increased to 17.5c with a DP of 14c and humidity at 81% Very dark to my south, and just grey to my north. Enjoy guys!

Wind keeps swinging from NE to NW, currently NW at 12km/h

Not faulty. Just bad luck :( Convection to our NW is rapidly organising. Keep an eye on it!! Looking very picturesque to the SW with storms encroaching Geelong. Double damn! Thanks Karl! Just looking at the weatherstation, it's telling me it's 16c with a DP of 14c and 85% humidity and the wind has ...

Rain bounced around the place Elise so it could be right. I think you have just been unlucky. Storms really making a march to the east now. Fresh cell further north from the convection I can see further to the north of the severe line of weather. This is looking very nasty! Damn, I know at work we ...

Not sure if my rain gauge is not measuring correctly, but I have only had 3.2mm for the day - 1.1mm of those happened just now. Thought for sure there would be more rain than this. Any ideas?

Raining quite heavily here again, some overcast sky all around us, temp is back up to 20c from 15 when the first storm hit.

Two very nasty cells NW of Beaufort with plenty more firing in an organized line. Hope those venturing out for peak hour are prepared!! Expecting wild weather about 4-6pm. Noooooo! Not peak hour! |:/ People have enough trouble as it is to drive, this is going to make it worse. :( Starting to cloud ...

Sun is out again, it's almost as if the storm never happened - some high cloud to the North, but looks nice - should heat up hopefully!

Some blue sky appearing to the North & North West of me, I reckon once the sun comes out it'll be steamy as!

All I will say is just WOW! I'm so glad I had a rainproof jacket - got stranded in the storm and had to do the bolt back to work - water everywhere! Can't wait to check the gauge at home!

Checked my gauge this morning and got 1mm of rain - not complaining at all. We still have lots of Spring to go!

Rain on the radar looking heavy near Mt Mercer, wasn't expecting storms near Melbourne though today. Bought a full weather station, but a few thing seem a bit off if anyone can help me!! :-P : Temperatures seem a bit high! (sensor currently on the wall of the house - outside), it is out of direct s...
