Wasn't expecting this much but 10.2mm this afternoon with maybe a little bit more before it clears, brings MTD to 99mm.

All too westerly for most of TAS. Further 0.2mm here. Ok falls out west, but it’s always wet out there Amazing how central VIC keeps getting events, while much of the country has turned dry in recent months.

Probably new thread time. Going to be a cold start to May with a high south of WA throwing up a sequence of fronts. Could land a few cold outbreaks if that sticks.

10mm here too, with a prolonged rainband lasting about 6 hours. Must say i eas expecting 2 to 3mm.

Cold out there now, too.

A chilly start this morning, down to 3.8c under clear, sunny skies. We had 8.8mm yesterday evening, so not a bad drop.

1.4mm here yesterday. Was never expecting much from what was ultimately a weak system. Gordon, you might have got the best of that one!

Yes we did well, and another 5mm today, so 13mm for the dates so far, and 88.5mm mtd (not that I think there's much left). A very good April compared to our 56mm average. Think you're still ahead of us though snowfall?

It has been a surprisingly bumper April, currently on 136mm, mainly boosted by a big downpour on the easter weekend.

We got 3.75mm from an overnight period of light drizzly rain. Back to a calm cool 18C max today after a 5 day string of 22-25C days.

52.25mm for this month, only 10mm or so below average, not bad for the farmers sowing pasture around here past 3 weeks.

[StratoBendigo]

Light frost this morning. 1.7c minimum. Cracking day today.

April 2023 had an mean max 1.1c below average, and a mean min 0.8c above average. 70mm of rain which is quite good. La Nina hangover I suspect.
