Up to 8mm here, and still coming down nicely. Seem to be getting heavier now. Is that a convergence line coming up from the SW ATM? Looks like it on radar and the rain rate agrees with me.
Decent amount of rain for us as well, all started around 4.30 this morning and was nice and stead ont he way to the train. Epic fail this morning as I moved what is left of the rain gauge when I mowed the lawn and did not put it back. However from the amount of water around would estimate 7-10mm to 7am for us.
Rain has not stopped at all here, moderate to heavy at times. According to the Laverton station up the road we have had about 9mm here at work (west Sunshine/Laverton) since it started.

What a brilliant system this has been! EC was bang on the money with the 8am to 11am call for heavier rain.
As John menitoned, those south of Geelong have missed out in comparison, however most of us metro reporters will be clocking in a minimum 10mm for the day. The Mallee is now in line a few mm's as well.
Just a couple of showers overnight leading to 4.2mm of rainfall to 9am. Great totals building through other parts of the state at the moment with the rain band looking great for you guys.

Trentham is up to 26.2mm and still going!!! Still raining steadily in Abbotsford - have had to deploy numerous buckets around the warehouse to catch leaks that usually arent there!!
