Relieved the big rains weren’t during daylight hours allowing outdoor works to be done,.

Outdoor even’ing gathering was successful with the milder of storms around 7.30pm.

2.45am the black core around lilydale lead to exiting to lounge room away from trees as precaution.

[stevco123]

25mm since last night, here.

[Didjman]

22mm here with a couple of close crackers

[Onetahuti]

Seems we had a another hit here compared to almost all other areas. The Davis registered 37mm which was well above any Melbourne Water site within the vvicinity so I trekked out to check the manual gauges both of which showed 35mm, as I purposely emptied them yesterday I take all as being close to accurate. Had a peak rate of 58mm/h around midnight.

[Gordon]

25-30mm around here, about double the forecast.

Back to winter temps; running about 2.5C below average and no doubt that will drop further by the end of this week.

[snowfall]

49mm here. The rain yesterday evening was very heavy at times, along with some nearby lightning and thunder in the early stages of it and a couple of big thunder claps. 30mm up to midnight and then a further 19mm overnight with showers that sounded torrential at times on the roof.

We also had our strongest wind gust of the year here yesterday afternoon, with 76km/h. Thankfully no significant damage but definitely a day with lots of 'weather'.

[StratoBendigo]

22mm yesterday all up. Quite heavy in the evening with the front.

[Petros]

13mm overnight/early morning here, with some high based C-C lighting as the front rapidly crossed after dark.

[Wilko]

23mm here of which 17mm with main band before midnight and the rest during the wee hours...looks like a gusty Westerly for the next few days with passing showers

[Pengaz]

25mm here from last nights thunderstorms and showers, a few mm short of the Nilma North aws. Nice to get a few rumbles again, although there wasn’t much of a light show.

[Wilko]

Big squalls here atm incl torrents of rain

[Australis(Shell3155)]

Always lots interference..

[hillybilly]

Handy 10mm overnight. Water tanks back to full.

Nice day here after it with a brisk westerly. The air is quite dry so showers are getting shredded well west of here. Colder and more unstable tomorrow so should see more showers, and possible hail. Snowfalls dropping locally to below 500m.

This event is really one for western Tasmania with 100-200mm forecast Good for the dams after a very dry year to date.

[Pengaz]

A further 13mm so far today from several squally showers, thunderstorms and hail.

Just had a really strong squall come through with torrential sideways rain.

Here’s one of the earlier storms that skirted to our north this afternoon:
