If you mean I'm a sceptic then yeah i am..and all that stuff they write in that article about the exceptionanl accuracy when they state that there may be a 30% chance of rain and as SM mentioned about the parameters for totals is just total gibberish..absolute nonsense...! Meanwhile my free and uneducated forecast for today is partly cloudy...  Edited by user Thursday, 29 May 2025 1:18:54 PM(UTC)

24mm in total the past 4 days mostly a light shower or 2 overnight...The days have been pretty nice though here as well.. Tomorrow is looking like a good boating day before the return of the slightly stronger Se winds... One thing thats noticeable with the synoptic charts is that the High pressure systems, so far, dont seem as intense as the previous couple of years ...usually this time of year they are monsters that charge across the continent with little relief between systems... Hopefully that means a less rainy and windy winter with more boating opportunities... and the forecast for us down here yesterday was partly cloudy with slight chance of showers..thats also the forecast for today with the day after that being partly cloudy with a medium chance of showers and then back to partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers.....lucky we have the BOM to keep us informed.....

We've now got to 4.5mm of rain in the last 21 days. The good thing is we're already sitting around our annual average of 2250mm.
I miss my boat at this time of year Scott. Great time for spanish mackerel around the islands and reds at the reef. Picking up a gap in the SE seems to be still a problem though.
June: 0mm
YTD: 2251mm

June: 0mm
YTD: 2251mm You know there is an easy way to fix that SM...get a new boat...I'm hoping for a mild tradewind season this year after a some bad ones the past couple.... We got out the front of Dunk island nice and early Tuesday morning and both lures got hit straight up...I backed off the drag and handed my rod over to the french wwoofer we took out, while i gaffed the missus's fish and looked around to see him lay it on the gunnel and before i could tell him to lift it off off course I lost a foot off the tip, the fish and the lure...my bad...he said it was to heavy to hold hence sitting it on the gunnel...Gen Z, man..we are all doomed... So i fed the missus's lure back out about 5m before it got hit again..she got sharked on that one so i chucked another lure on and she landed the next one as well...So 15 minutes in and she had our 2 allowable fish...The whole sounder screen from top to bottom was just lit up with Spanish over a wide area...I have only seen schools that thick a handful of times over the past 20 odd years I fished around here...big joke that they are so overfished... Nippy last night and again tonight but gee the days are pretty niceand make outdoor physical work rather pleasant.....

A bit of a shock this morning, 1mm in the gauge. June is off and running. I must admit though the weather has been beautiful for the last month or so. Your right Scott, it's rare to see Spaniards schooling up like that. We saw it once like that at Norman Reef when it didn't matter how many lures were out they all went off. Luckily the bag limits were a lot better in those days. June: 1mm YTD: 2252mm Edit: From memory that trip to Norman Reef was in 1986 so it's good to see the big schools are still around.

39mm of very nice soft rain again...21 deg with not much change from that in the past 24 hrs even overnight where it only dropped a couple of degrees overnight..
Looks more like the winter pattern we are familiar with, the big highs moving eastward and bringing the Sou easters and showers...hopefully we get a break next week between highs so we can take a run out ans see if the mackies have turned up yet..
I havent heard anything about whales except someone mention seeing one off Fraser island a week or more back...they cant be far away now..

G'day weather watchers :)
Been getting lots of showers and wind up here, with 25mm in the gauge yesterday
and 20mm this morning.
I spent a week down in Port Macquarie with my daughter and granddaughter was
marvellous but 8° mornings and 16° days are not for me..
Looks like I'll be spending a bit of time in Weipa over the coming months...
Cheers

49 mm over the past few days with most in the past couple of days and yeah all on the back of the [censored]SE winds...highs moving across as usual for this time of year...
Bunyip I grew up a couple of hours south of Port Maquarie..absolutely loves the area from Harrington south to Port Stevens in The great lakes area..just unreal camping,boating, fishing, trail biking growing up but as you mention frosts are not for everyone and i couldnt wait to move north above the frost line...
Are you going to be working on a road crew up Weipa way..?..Better make sure to stock up on plenty of barra gear before you go..!

It's been quite a dry June here so far. Just the 13mm, down on the 56mm average. By the forecast the strong wind warnings are set to return tomorrow with showers over the weekend. That could top up the monthly total a bit.
June: 13mm

Beautiful morning up here, lovely walk with the hound before sunrise.
Hi Scott, not sure what I'm going to do mate.
Mrs got a job and left yesterday, should be just about there, after staying at Musgrave last night.
Cheers

We ended the month with 17.5mm, well below the average. The temps were a bit boring as well with 17 min and 33 Max. July could be different though with show time coming up.
June: 17.5mm
