Drizzly start here then frequent W'ly showers added to the overnight drizzle to give us another 7mm to bring this thread total to 35mm - way above the model progs. Baro has been down for days now, still only 1002 hPa, so more westerly showers are possible overnight before the system digs down and throws Southerlies up at us, will be in the lee of Tassie so totals from now to Sat shouldnt exceed a further 5mm imo
...... and we dont need any more rain, no deluges yet this year but nicely lifting above the yearly average over past 6 weeks.

Mind you I still think the next system or the one after it will bring unecessary high rainfall into Gippsland - just going by the law of averages.

A real wintery feel out there, perhaps a sign of things to come. Off the mark with 10mm today and a feeling we will see 5 to 10 more tonight.

Man forgot about these nuts SW streams was in city all day few heavy showers and drizzle but dry windy when left work at 9pm.

BIg fall out here well for country boy like me a few showers this is a flood lol bring on the SW streams also street flooding on Blackburn road

25mm here today and everything is soaked

Still drizzle out side yet dry like 10km NW lol

yeah, 33 mm here twister, its been constant low/medium, suprised at the total infact!

Yeah sitting on 31mm further to your east here and pouring again here. Might scrape 40mm from a very tough week to squeeze a drop here in C VIC. It means that the NW suburbs and Melbourne probably faired worst.

In any case, above average here for I don't know how many months in a row now.

We always do well out of the moist south westerlies, must be a geographical effect, though we are slightly down the hill. Manage to find the narrow convergant lines in such situations.

Yeah went for a drive and its Belting down around pine wood yet only light drizzle almost mist toward Clayton.
Coming back just dumping down some of the thickest heaviest drizzle i have ever seen from Pine wood to syndal station

up to 31mm and still coming down unreal I expect many more nights like this come Winter

moving back to the burbs and living in an exposed area is a shock to the system, it's HOWLING out there. I doubt I would have hardly noticed this back in Richmond.

34.1mm at home, and 60mm in the Dandenongs. Another months average taken care of. Stream still strong and trajectory changed to inner suburbs. A great system considering it was so complex and didn't favor us at all.

I'm quite surprised by my total on my automatic gauge this morning...20mm. I can't verify it's accuracy at the moment as it had crashed when I checked at 11pm last night. I'll check the manual one closer to 9am.

16.5mm to 8am this morning (versus 14.2mm at Viewbank).

Some sharp showers came through in the wee hours and some decent wind gusts too, enough to knock off two large palm branches onto the roof at 4am (gave me a decent jolt awake!).

6.5 mm to 9am here bringing the event total to 12 mm. Feels very wintery at 9 C with a strong sw wind, very light drizzle and no sign of sun.

26mm here, was quite windy as well with some tree branches down as well.

Finished with just under 40mm for the event. 39.7mm. Was a nice drop. See that Glen Waverley to the west had 35mm, Mitcham had 38mm, The Basin to the NE had 40mm and Montrose 50mm then up at Mount Dandenong 63mm. A good result and in the end the whole state has done fairly well apart from the western plains of the C district.

Managed 16.8mm to 9am this morning, still some drizzly stuff this morning but mostly cleared by now to cloudy conditions. Event total is around 25mm if I am remembering yesterdays total correctly, but will confirm this when I get home.

An amazing system re it's complexity.

And good falls in the Thomson catchment with 26mm at the Thomson Dam and 58mm for Mt Baw Baw.

Dunolly( near maryborough) nth central forecast zone
had.... 20mm all from showers over a 2 day period

24.0 mm here in North Dandenong.

I seriously can't wait for the first real cold front to push through...whenever that may be.

11mm here for the event, and freezing S wind!

Freezing here today, had school swimming carnival -.- in an outdoor pool!
