Re: Developing low with more rain and storms: January 15-20

Melbourne CBD has had 4 days with over 10mm of rain this Jan, plus an 8.2mm also.

I assume this is not a record for Jan but seems highly unusual.

We have also had four 30 degree days already and that’s up only 17 Jan!

will it form more north today or nothing at all for us?

guess have to wait and see!
There appears to be rotation to the West of Melbourne that should start to spin the rain into the metro area around 6pm.

Re: Cool start to November followed by an extended warm spell: November 1-10

What are peoples thoughts re storms the next 2 days - where / when? I am thinking Wimmera, Northern, North Central, Central, NE, Gippsland? Looks like a pretty intense storm just east of Geelong right now - black on the radar! http://flystream.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screenshot-2023-11-06 ...

Re: Warm and humid with showers and storms: Late December to early January

I've been very sick over the break with the dreaded virus but have been watching the clouds from bed each day, some really lovely anvils and side views of storms over the other side of the mountains but nothing coming over this side (Boronia). Close yet so far each day! The BOM has been continually ...

Have they done or are they doing any releases from Glenmaggie now to help prevent flooding next week?

Re: Big rain event 12-14 October

Temp wise the warmest it’s been this month is only 22.2

I’m thinking we won’t crack 25 for October.

Would be very unusual for that not to happen in Melbourne in October surely ??

Re: Cold fronts and showers 7 July - ?

Melbourne Olympic Park has officially recorded 4 consecutive minima under 5 degrees!

That must be highly unusual in the past decade.
