Took a while to get going in the Dandenongs, but finally hit with a bang. Series of rumbles and teaming rain. About 17mm all up for us, 1mm early then 16mm with the front proper. Pushes us up to about 110mm for the months so slightly above average. That’s three months in a row which is pretty rare by recent historical standards (probably have to go back to the thumping 2010-2012 La Niña sequence to find another run of above average for us). That said, each month has just snuck above average, so not a deluge but very welcome :D

Still one for system for the month so a chance to add some more.

Just a touch under 5mm here, and some big gusts of wind as it came through. Not quite the impact as in other areas, except the wind!

Light frost in the Dandenongs this morning. No more in the gauge.

A fine or mostly fine 36 hours before a front on Friday. Again the system will focus on and south of the ranges. It’s fairly cold so will be quite wintery, though snow levels will largely stay in the alps.

Sadly a bit of a non-event here. Just 2mm. Cold morning and it was foggy early on. Now clear skies.

NEXT!

10.6mm yesterday, lightning, thunder and hail. Gotta be happy with that!

42.2mm for the month, and 246.6mm YTD, slightly better than the 214.7mm for this time last year (475.2mm year total - lowest in my 13 odd years of recording...)

My numbers are 28mm for the month, 200mm YTD. This time last year we were 165mm YTD, but we ended up with 390mm year total. (Avg is 544mm)

34mm MTD here. It will certainly be a below average month, but follows May and June that were both well above average. YTD is 335mm, tracking below average but not too surprising given the climate drivers this year.

July might end with a bang if EC is on the money for this Monday. It reckons 20mm+ here with a trough.

It’s been really jumpy. Does look like a switch in the pattern to focus more inland. GFS kinda similar now.

Woke to drizzle and fog. About 0.2mm.

Tomorrow looks ok for about 10mm here which will put us comfortably above average.

Very mild couple of nights. Didn't score that much rain the other day. Will hopefully score a few mms tomorrow.

Meanwhile, all-time hottest temps recorded in the Netherlands, Germany and Paris today. Meanwhile UK records its hottest July day.

Pretty uninspiring frontal band over western Vic ATM. It comes it central areas during the arvo and should thicken up a bit. Looks like 5-10mm, thinning out as you go north.

Upper trough for early next week. Looks like focusing in northern Vic, which is good for them.
