Patchy SA low. From almost zero
to almost 100mm the weekend low dropped some incredible dumps to
some and mere drizzle to others.. Kadina 91mm for the weekend along
with Cleve 84mm, Geranium 63+mm, some of the best. As with lows
it is either on or off. For me it streamed to within a few KM's.
Just 14mm falling in mostly light drizzle over the full 3 days.
But boy did some serious dumps come VERY VERY close! As is often
the case the best fell all round the 4 points of the compass, anywhere
but here as always.....

Central Oz deluges. INCREDIBLE

over 300mm, Birdsville over 200mm including 168mm in 24 hours!!!!!
And still raining. Inland Australia is under water! meanwhile Perth
is suffering its driest period on record with the airport not recording
rain since nov20th last year. Thats over 100 days! Check out
the sat pick of the low over central Australia. Almost a cyclone
over land with 85km/h gust winds over Birdsville and torrential
rain! AMAZING stuff, not seen in a century!! Sat

Northern storms. Yet AGAIN a line
of storms explodes over mid northern SA. And yet AGAIN the south
remains fine and dry dry dry. The troughline responsible is however
beautifully defined. More HERE

MASSIVE storm. explodes over northern
ranges with flash flooding and damaging winds. Meanwhile dead calm

itself with teeth. More HERE

East meets west in a collision of 2 systems.
Ex tropical cyclone Olga remnants moving in from the east and a
trough from the west collide over central South Australia. See the
amazing satellite and radar animations HERE

Storms? Where?.In classic centrals
collapse, forecast storms in an unstable NE flow atmosphere that
should have exploded simply failed to occur. One or 2 weak cells
propogated, yes yet again, north. As always absolutely nothing but
uncomfortable humidity down south as we continue to get drier and
drier.

Centrals force field ..... is
in action again driving what should have been an impressive storm
line up, you guessed it - north! Still one or 2 flashes about and
some dribbly rain and a beautiful pink/red sunset. Plus a great
diversion from "groundhog day" conditions.

fire jumps into action near Meadows on the 25th Jan. Under control

2009 Meadows summary HEAT .....dominates
2009 in the Meadows hills. It was my hottest year I have recorded
(av max) by a tiny 0.01 degrees. It had my hottest ever recorded
day of 40.8. Plus 40 degrees usually only comes along once every
5-6 years. 2009 also recorded the number of days with a max above
30 more than any previous year I have recorded.

SUMMARY HERE.

WHAT? Another heatwave? You have
got to be joking, c'mon mother nature give us a break. Enough is
enough. So what will this one bring? Watch this space.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here we go again,
another year. What will it bring? No-one knows, but it started with
some decent stormy action. Where? Up north and east of course. Lameroo
smashed by 140km wind gusts and some serious rain rates. A monster
of a storm explodes on new years day over no mans land in Riverland
SA..
