I've been watching that cell around Wonthaggi all morning. Just amazing how stationary it's been.

I'm actually waiting with anticipation for things to go more southerly for this reason. Hopefully it will launch those bombs & fling it upwards towards us. We have been right on the edge of things here up until now.

Finally cracked a brief heavy burst. 5mm in about 10 minutes. Almost up to 10mm now.

Another nasty cell just to be southeast which may get us or just miss. Radar is currently a bit ho-hum out east :?:

BTW Cape Paterson cracked the ton with 101mm. Very local with 0mm within a few kms :o

Things are about to get interesting down here. VERY dark, low clouds just moving in now.

Radar is looking good, and going by the totals in the past 12 hours elsewhere, 10 to 20mm is looking good from this blob. Southeasterly streams usually produce the most rain here, straight off Westernport

Good totals for many today, with a bit of sunshine next week, should really start to see some green come through.
We landed on 63mm for the last 24hrs, and that's 132mm for May so far. :D

31mm for last 24 hours, + 4mm the other day gives 35mm for the thread. 81mm MTD, cruised past the 75mm monthly average in only 10 days.

Some great totals to the South of here. A few May records have fallen in the last 24 hours.

34mm here since midnight. The tanks are full again, which is a big relief. Driving home this afternoon, I noticed fields with pools of standing water, and dams almost full again, making it such a big change to only a couple of weeks ago. Our MTD is now around 63mm. We didn't do quite as well as some areas with the event last week, but even so we're now just above the average monthly rainfall for May, so it's very welcome especially given we're only 10 days in. Reached a maximum of just 9.8c today, currently 8c.
