Just want to say thankyou to RWM and Falling Droplet for keeping this thread going. I am really struggling right now, we are just caught in an extremely hot deja vu. These fires are horrendous and the heat is just unbearable. For me there has been nothing to post about,

I did replace my weather station and the heat blew the sensor out again within 2 days. It was only just a mid priced one. I bought 2 because my Dad, before going into a home wanted to see what was happening. I ended having to buy a third one as he somehow blew his read out panel to pieces, so I had all these spare parts, looks like the third lot of sensors will be going up. I will eventually replace it with a high end station. For the price it was not too bad.

I am sorting of nibbling at the bait and looking at the possibility of a storm near the end of the week. Just not 100% excited yet. The next few runs of the models may start to grab my attention more. We are due for a massive storm soon. The Mooloolaba storm was an awesome beast a few weeks back. I wouldn’t like to go through that again. It was a scaled down version of the 1985 Brisbane hailstorm that I was caught right in the middle off. Still to this day the most horrific storm I have been in.

Cheers and thanks everyone. Once the weather changes I think there will be more chatter on here.

Col.

The dew point rose very slowly over the entire day and was near average. Moderately low relative humidity early in the day and near average for the rest of the day.

I noticed there was a few storms and showers on the radar last night out towards Blackbutt and Kingaroy. They soon died off unfortunately. I checked the BOM website this morning and falls were mostly under 10 mm. The best were:

Glenmore TM 28 mm
Top of Brisbane Alert 13 mm
Blackbutt 17 mm

I also use a Davis Pro 2, but also use old style wet and dry liquid-in-glass thermometers as the accuracy of the Davis wanders off at each end of the humidity spectrum. I also use a glass thermometer for minimum temps as again the Davis accuracy is restricted by its heat shield, which although much bigger than most others is too confining and does not allow heat to escape quickly enough overnight and with subtle wind drifts in the early mornings.
