We copped 62mm in an hour when we visited Xi’an last time and thought that was bad enough

For comparison, Darwin expects a rainfall event of 51mm in 1 hour, once per year.

This got me looking at rain records. Reunion Island recorded 1825mm in a 24 hour period in 1966 and Holt, Missouri recorded 304mm in 42 minutes in 1947.

Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2023 6:00 pmCool breeze hit virtually in the last minute of my walk with the dog just then.
Hopefully the temp drops now and we have a cooler night.

Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:36 pmWorked all weekend to get our 120ha (300ac) of hay baled, stacked and put in shed before this event. Finally get to kick back with a beer and watch it roll in.
So far wind, wind and more wind.
Went into Wally to get some beers and I saw a header reaping lentils by the town, in all my years farming I have never seen harvest started on YP in September/start October. Climate change, vote no

Usually pretty full on when it does occur, not very often I bowled from the pub end of Smithfield Oval, when I did I managed to get some wheels happening.
How weird does it look on the radar? I was wondering why we aren’t getting WA’s heat.

I had a look last night if there was a cyclone up North, usually only happens when one of them is on the move.

I reckon we've normally got weather from there when there's a cyclone/tropical depression in the Gulf of Carpentaria, and it drops pretty well straight down from there.
Can remember watching some cricket a few years ago down south, and this big black front of clouds appeared behind us and dumped a month's worth of rain in about half an hour
