No rain here this morning. I've got to the point of just checking the satellite image every morning and if no movement of the cyclone all is good. Not really checking the forecast track yet.  I hope you catch a few Ron. Apr: 64mm YTD: 1648.5mm

Another 4mm in my gauge this morning :)
These little showers just keep everything moist & slopy.
Good luck Ron , hope you can find a nice sheltered spot without to many midgies & mozzies.
Where were you headed?
Cheers

That sounds like a good case of scare mongering by whoever wrote that Weary. The GFS has it crossing the far northern Cape as a weak tropical low on Sunday at the moment.
A beautiful autumn day here so far today.

I think Timmy is unemployed and lives with his mum...
He's possibly a worse forecaster then 8 yr old Darcy..Beginning of last month he made his own track maps of that low that travelled offshore down the coast towrds ayre...His map had it crossing the coast at daintree...
Beginning of the season he called one cyclone potentially hitting the WA coast the most catasphropic weather event to ever happen..and yeah it wasnt...
He also predicted record flooding around xmas..which also didnt happen..
However I do see Nitso at Weather IQ say tonight that if Malia starts moving west tomorrow then that Cape York crossing is most likely however if its westerly movement is delayed by another day or 2then a more southerly course could happen...I hope it starts heading west tomorrow...pretty please..

Definately cooled down a bit here in past days and quite nice working outside under a bit of sunshine as well...
Hopefully not too much rain to come next week as some are suggesting..Currently harvesting cucumbers and have some cherry tomatoes setting fruit..but neither would appreciate cool wet condition I imagine..
It doesnt appear you have much to worry about Bunyip with not even the FB heros saying too much about an impending cyclonic strike anymore...
Although This is whats on the BOM site about the other cyclone further to the SE...
"TC Vaianu is expected to cross Northland and Auckland at Category 2 strength"

Just 4mm in my gauge this morning.
Forecast is for increasing showers and good rain in the week ahead with or without this blow.
Yeah Scott that TC is going to give the kiwis a bit of a touch up. Hopefully not to much damage.
Living over here I just like to be a bit better prepared, this last ferry incident has highlighted
just how fragile our connection with the outside world is.
Cheers

A nice sunny morning here. 22mm in the last 9 days so it's time to give the yard a good clean up. It looks like a bit of rain on the forecast for next week.
I see there's cyclones either side of the equator to our north. TS sinlaku could give Guam a touch up in a couple of days. Maila looks like it's dissipating.
It's good to see you have a couple of official gauges up and running now Scott with Silkwood and Bulgun Creek.

Yep. Maila is now a Low. Her track is "intriguing". Don't know what else to call it... Just locked in the Solomon Sea.
