Extended warm spell and becoming humid - Feb 6 to 24

[nafets]

Thunder overhead now ! Tiny cell but its intensifying rapidly !! Tonnes of storms about now and at least 4 or 5 with black cores !!

First rain drops here. But storms are weakening running into the SE wind which is strong and gusty.

Jake you can also see my weather station.

It's on top of Deakin Hall, south of Howitt Hall so it does suffer from wind turbulance coming off Howitt Hall at times. Ok today in a SE wind.

[Nick Sykes]

Storms getting shredded apart one they get in line with about the city. plenty thunder here in Malvern East.

[occluded]

Going off quite nicely now!

Wundermap radar showing Viewbank, Doncaster, Box Hill North getting some rainfall but it's all going around my place so far.

Edit: Viewbank AWS went from 1.0 to 5.6mm in 10 mins.

[Jake Smethurst]

Thanks for that flyfisher! Good to have a weather station close by. I'm at Roberts.'

A bit of thunder around here but that's about it so far.

[I_Love_Storms]

Starting to look very very dark to the north. Doubt the shield can shred this one

[nafets]

The storm due north of Melbourne CBD is massive ! It is extending and developing to the west . Grey clouds moving overhead now and spits of rain falling . Black core on the radar wow

[wolfcat]

Yikes, that Cell at Diggers Rest is rather large.

[stratospear]

Melb airport looks like it's about to get absolutely smashed. Radar indicates planes are circling now.

[I_Love_Storms]

Outflows from the storm in Camberwell!

Edit: And the lightning starts! 3 flashes in a couple of minutes. roll clouds look to be trying to form

[Wilko]

Interesting set up
A real battle of forces
C,mon please edge further south
Had 11mm since before i can remember !

ps Looking quite dangerous now !

[nafets]

In north Melbourne ATM and looks like the light rain extending south from the main storm will hit . Can see CG now !

[mick]

Roaring s/e wind, grey blanket with mamantulas aloft. Some low scattered turkeys visible in the distance and a bit of blue about, anything could happen.

Surrounded by a storm that has sheet lightning in it. Looking awesome!

[James]

all looks great but it seems to be dying by the time it gets this far south (see it evaporate on radar), so far just light rain here earlier and distant rumbling which has died for the moment...

so far all huff and puff and not much substance...wait and see what happens later..looks severe towards melbourne on radar

[Geoff]

Huge number of emergency calls to damaged and flooded properties around Sunbury region so far, must be wild out there at the moment.
Yes it's all dying a death here, just a few spits and distant rumbles, but radar and satellite still look good so holding out hope for more tonight.
Just 1.5mm so far here.

I have my storm shield up, its just kicked in.
