Another mild day with 18C. Had patchy light rain this arvo. Hoping to pick up a decent fall overnight, though progs are jumpy. Currently sat on about half the august average, so been pretty dry. Looks like Hobart will score its second warmest maxs on record for August behind 1982, and warmest winter...

Few showers overnight and now a mild almost warm day ahead with showers increasing. Uppers are really warm. Already 7C at Mt Buller just past 9am. Far too warm for winter 🫣 Bit slow on the pickup but Eyre scored a 35.4C on Sunday which is a new southern Australia record (south coast). Probably lucky...

A cool showery system to end winter with a slow moving trough eventually cutting off into a low in the Tasman Sea. The system is not particularly cold, so rain in the alps to start, but will cool towards the end of the week. Totals look ok in the usual wet spots, while most should get some. It’s bee...

Knocked over by covid that last few days. I was hoping that virus was in the past, but seems it is coming around for another go. Real feature down here the last few days has been frost. 2C Saturday, 0C Sunday and -1C this morning. Was cold for a long time last night so ice was thick on surfaces. Nex...

A cool showery 24 hours down here. Nearly 2mm in the gauge. Snow level is quite low, sat around 800m, but cover is very light. Bit of an unstable weekend with potential for the odd shower despite the high for the southeast. System starting to brew for mid next week. We all need something before end ...

Quite a showery morning here in southern Tasmania. Just shy of 4mm which isn’t a lot, but with such a dry month every dribble is welcome. Progs look pretty lean for most of Oz next ten days. El Niño and IOD slowly tightening their grip. Question is how much sneaks into the southeast with the fronts....

Handy 7mm for us just south of Hobart. Better than I expected.

Ok falls for east central Vic and now raining quite heavily north of Melbourne. Good to see. Front has firmed a weak cut off low.

Radar and obs are more typical of late spring this morning. Mid low to teens and a thunder looking rain band. Should be productive for much of Vic.

Couple of quick moving fronts for the week ahead. Both are pretty moisture starved, but have decent upper troughs and strong temperature changes. Will be showery with possible for storms in the colder air. Each system is preceded by mild air, so a mild to warm week overall, and while it will be cold...

17C on both Saturday and Sunday. After our warmest July on record, feels like we are determined to have a run at the warmest August. Still waiting to get a properly cold day all year, with nothing below 10C so far. Another week of mostly mild weather, more typically of later September of October. Ne...

Bust down here in southern TAS 😩Just a trace the last 24 hours. Now under strong warm air advection so drizzle showers for west facing areas. Snow lines are rising pretty strongly so suspect a wash out in the alps. Northern areas might escape the worst of it, but Lake Mt, Baw Baw and Donna will like...

Solid falls for much of VIC, with the Wimmera doing particularly well. Big falls for western Tas and the hills in northern Tas. Miss for southeast TAS ☹️ Band spreading into the alps now and will bring some much needed snow. Not a particularly cold system, but still chilly enough for snow across all...

System looks solid for VIC. There’s quite a good upper trough which should thicken up widespread showers, perhaps tending towards rain later today into tomorrow. Very wet for western Tasmania. Not so for eastern areas. Frustrating system in some ways as it almost cuts off into a low, but not quite. ...

-1C this morning. Nice and crunchy out. Horse paddock looks like a ski resort

That’s the coldest for the year, though last year we saw -1.8C in August so not the coldest in very long. Nice day ahead.

EC backing off this morning, while GFS remains keen. Hoping this isn’t another busy

Nice winter spell coming up with a series of fronts. First one for Thursday, second around Friday, sneaky warm front for Saturday, and another cold front for Sunday. Will be more impressive in southern areas. Totals should be ok in coastal and west facing areas. Might save the ski season for a few w...

1.2C this morning.. 2 mornings in a row Split system went into defrost mode, so no heat for over 15minutes both times.. makes one alarmed to know they wish to take away Gas supply and appliances.. thank goodness for wood fires... 11.6c @ 1.50pm Not Boiling, freezing...... Lowest temperature in our ...

Cracking frost here this morning. Looks like another tonight.

Progs quite chilly for late in the week, but system is a bit moisture starved so mainly showers. New thread time.

Good to see some solid showers round Vic on Saturday. Bit of a creeping dry happening atm, as the El Niño establishes, so any rain is good rain. Bit patchier down in Tas, but with just shy of 2mm for the day at our place in Howden and about 5mm for the event. Cool few days then some westerly gales. ...

Was a non event in southern TAS yesterday, but picking up a clipper front tonight with a few heavy showers. Do need it. Next highs ridging in but will push some fairly cool air over us the next 72 hours. Suspect some heavy showers, though slow moving and hit miss. Some snow in the alps. Progs have f...
