Saw that approaching RF, thought it might be a little tenuous by the time it reached the coast but am pleased to see 10mm in the gauge, saves watering for awhile.

No response here either.
People probably overworked due to lack of funding.

Wishing.....and hoping.....and dreaming.....

Thought it might happen this morning, no luck.

That low in the Gulf has got a fair bit of coverage. Can't get here fast enough.

All my technomological measuring devices have preetty much succumbed to our climate, not that trustworthy anymore otherwise I'd be checking them cause last 2 days have been pretty full on.

The AP has a 26.6c dewpoint at 5pm though..


Records for 2022: 1520mm
2023: 2710mm 2024: 951.6mm (no records April-Sept)

Interesting blob by the coast with a lot of yellow and red. Has it been a wild night in Cairns? We've had continual bright sheet lightning all the way out here for the last few hours.

Yes, 28, have been watching it for a few hours now while downloading stuff. I thought it was just tracking north but now seems to be spreading and approaching the coast somewhat. Awesome lightshow and still silent here.

And you're so right, RF, 'orrible 'orrible evening humidity.

Nothing really to add after a horrid night under the fan trying to sleep, and the constant flash of distant storms.
Got wet taking the dog for a run, but it's not really getting in to us.

Fair bit of noise around out the back, but the rain is just not getting here.
Hot a sticky arvo in the tropics.

Radar looks great Weary , and Mareeba has had 69mm now

Been watching the sky change through various shades of grey for a few hours. Various shades of grey sheets of rain dumping to the east for an hour or so.

Onky just starting to hear rumbles to the east. Lovely & cool outside. No rain so far.

Edit: First sprinkles, sound like they're getting heavier. Even in the face of current radar we still need to keep our fingers crossed.
