Gosh....I'm amazed. That blob of rain is still there.
Not counting on it coming this way, in spite of yesterday's surprise 5mm. Lol.

Good heavens, amazing totals, and more to come.
Just drizzle, showers here and glad of it - don't need your blob moving north.
And here I was enjoying my brand new boombox since no outside work for awhile and the darned thing has quit already. I have sooo many cd's to play/keep/discard.

Yeah she's a good system that's for sure.
108mm here since 07:00 , the main area of heavy stuff seems to be around Mossman Port Douglas now And
might be moving South again looking at the radar.
Doesn't really seem like wet season rain , but it's not winter time SE'erly stream showers either.
See what happens overnight.
Cheers

Now they issue a flood watch :) :) :)
ya think
I have just returned from feeding the neighbors ducks and chooks ect , one creek was at 400mm that is the limit for me on the quad
the other one in their place was around 300mm but much to fast for the quad so I had to walk in.
The Daintree is starting to show a rise upstream , and has changed color with this run now showing on the top of the tide, lucky they are
are not real big tides, yet they are building over the next few days.
Cheers

It tried. The faintest of misting sprinkle for about 30 seconds... lol.
National radar looks strange with the only rain for the whole country being the wet blob over Cairns, and a small patch near Nhulunbuy.

How do these clowns come up with such wildly different rainfall forecast amounts ?? Is their modelling software so vastly different, - or do BoM tend to tweak it with their 'expert' knowledge ?  ]

Yeah some crazy discrepancies in the forecasts.
178mm up here this morning.
Good too hear that Tinaroo is getting a top up from what is pushing onto the tablelands.
Looks like it could hang around or redevelop later in the week.
Stay safe if your out and about.
Cheers

This rain event, doesn't this kind of rain - after the Wet - happen every few years or so? Heaps of rain, and Kuranda Range & Gillies Highway have multiple landslides.

Another 70mm since 6am here. Yeah, I saw that. Belting down again here,- up to about another 110mm since 09:00. I suppose you had no inside jobs up your sleeve for this week, either.

Look likes the blob has intensified over Cairns again... I cant wait to hear the 24 hr totals from Hickory and Weary.. When was the last time Cairns had 3 back to back 150mm plus days before..? I cant actually remember an event like this in Cairns before.. Edited by user Wednesday, 21 April 2021 5:21:58 AM(UTC)

Yeah, can't remember either Scott. The rain event that just keeps on giving lol. Looks like that daily record is dusted now.
Lucky to be inside for most of the week Hickory, just Monday when I had to turn back and have another coffee and wait for the truck to be pulled off the highway. |
