Some thundery rain here earlier, most of the rumbles were distant but audible, very slow moving system no doubt to suck up all the instability in the atmosphere.
We had 10mm here in 1 hour. Not that spectacular, we had a ripping clap of thunder round 12:55. Currently here it is VERY clear. Over us it is completely clear bar a little bit of Cirrus. Can see the back of the cells in Melb STILL from here and some TCu sitting on the N, NW, NE horizon. Could be interesting here especially since the temparature is going up rather quickly
Well the storm to our W widened its skirts and included us in its eastern edge to provide 6mm of rain/pea sized hail in 3 minutes, but no close thunder. 15 minutes later we are sunny and calm with the whole place in puddles to add nicely to the 7.5mm we got the night before.
Hoping for an encore when I fire up the BBQ a little later

this goes out to you too kris.
Had steady rain for a hour now but apart from that not much today, bit of lightning and thunder but nothing much. Not expecting alot here anyway this week, but good luck to those that get under a healthy storm, might get a couple of spots here tonight, would be nice to get some nightime lightning.
