Rain
report Not quite a true "my local" event but a
small report on the Anzac day rains is now online. Certainly a frustrating
rain distribution for many

Rain
update A huge disappointment for the southern ranges with
very low rain totals as the impressivly structured system fails
again and again on approach. A different story over the plains and
northern ranges where torrential rain, hail and even thunder dumps
over the region. The cold air made for some nice scenery.

Anzac
day rain It finally rained! Sparing the Anzac day services
and coming down late evening. Best falls as always over
northern plains and hills with 22mm the highest at Millbrook. Disappointing
generally well below 10mm falls down south. But more is to come!
