High Temperatures, High Humidity and Storms 26 Feb - Mar 3

[fireone]

How about the dew points. 19.4 here and rising not bad for 24 C temp.?

[Alexia]

16mm rain so far warmest today was 21.5c at 1930hrs. It is now 20.4c Humidity 88%
Sorry KARL a bit late getting back no thunderstorms around here today.

Going orange on the radar just WNW of me as it tracks towards the CBD.. Had 10 or so rumbles here in past 4 mins or so

[Flangfest]

Karl and I observing nice lightning from that cell NW of CBD! Can't wait for it to hit !

[Meso]

Just a few pics from that line moving across from the west. Nothing special. Very frustrating storm to photograph, lightning was as frequent as I've seen with any storm, but it was 95% CC with about 4 or 5 clear CG's. Very annoying. I was willing it on to spit out a few, but it just didn't want to play ball.







Anyway, hammering down here now with the plenty of thunder. Should be easy to get to sleep!

[Geoff]

That cell coming off the bay has developed into a left mover and seems to be headed this way, can hear booming thunder approaching!

[James]

sure is deep booming for so far away

[Flangfest]

Well that one died..plenty more opportunities no doubt this week.

Congrats aussiestormfreak on your engagement!!!

Hey cheers Mad*moo73!

Yes the engagement to my girlfriend is the best thing on top of a September-February period that has been full of countless surprises, from glandular fever to finally getting my Learner's Permit, and enjoying my best-ever Storm Season!

Some great-looking showers and thunderstorms to the west and southwest of Melbourne earlier this afternoon and evening (got a few okayish pics while travelling betwen the City and the southeast suburbs), got treated to a bit of lightning at around 9PM and some light cooling rain... I can hear thunder now as the next line approaches (even though it looks mostly rather weak and messy on radar over the metropolitan area), I'm gonna go offline and try to record some footage.

[James]

wonder why they are dying here but going well to the north

[Rhino]

Well I'm off to bed, an eventful night here with one of the most spectacular lightning displays I've ever seen, and I used to live in darwin, and a very useful 25mm. If I don't get any more rain now I'd still be happy.

Congrats aswell Aussie, all the best.

Rhino.

[James]

looks like thats all for now, i am off to bed too...too bad it keeps dying before it gets here, always happens for some reason

[rikjpool]

Constant thunder here with the constant CC lightning. Havnt seen a single CG since getting home 30 min ago. Light rain here now, however drove through some very very heavy patches on way back from axedale.

Slowly starting to pick up the rain rate now. Sounds and looks the deal, but at the moment, bark worse than bite. Still amazing for an appetiser!!! To quote the grat Oliver.... "please sir, I would like some more!"

[Poncho]

Got a few shots tonight... my first non-iphone photo contribution to the board:)

[phunkster]

Great shots Meso & Poncho!

[AUS_Twisted]

Have fun to anyone NW, looks like you guys in for a long morning

[HarleyB]

Finally, 4 hours after it formed into a line, it has reached us, after a torturous wait. Still some lightning and thunder around this late at night. Rainfall is quite torrential also.

[ULD]

Biblical rainfall here in Bendigo, near old orphanage, and more coming.

[HarleyB]

53mm in the 3 hours since midnight. Unbelievable rainfall with more evidently to come on radar. Could we top 100mm for the event?

[BigBen]

LOL @ 06z GFS

even bigger lol @ the 12z GFS run.

Anyone got some spare room on their ark?
