Quite bizzare to see places like mareeba and mount carbine currently at the top of the monthly BOM totals ahead of ultra heavy weights like, daintree, tully and babinda!!!! this will change by the end of the month no doubt.
Bunyip im unable to follow your 2023 rainfall on google sheets? Is it possible to update your link if your still letting people follow your totals ? |

It's a warm one today, building up nicely I'd say.
Cheers

Hi GT, It's this mountain out the back that does it. lol
Just looking at Google earth and I'm about 15km straight from the bomb site, the range between plays it's own games
with what we get. Often sit at a mates place on the Daintree Rd and look across here at the rain falling. :)
Had a few rumbles but has gone quiet now, had hoped for a nice storm. Bloody hot out there.
Cheers

Certainly your proximity to Thorntons peak and the way the coast is shaped along the daintree river north to cape trib so that SE winds blow directly into your path results in the huge rain over there. I have the devils thumb plateau to my west 1382m at highest we get our fair share but can't compete with you or Babinda. |

It's been exceptional. We've had rain every day & every night this month, about 483mm by this morning.
September December last year gave us 402mm.
Can't complain.
Trouble is, I'm getting too used to this nice weather and it will disappear in a few weeks time.

Spent yesterday at Tinaroo, got hammered by a couple of afternoon downpours. Was still warm by Tinaroo standards and all the rainfall immediately started running off, so the dam is going up with each passing downpour. Got home last night to 25.6mm. Couple of brief heavy showers today but managed to get the lawns mowed and some gear dried out. |

Only 7mm this morning. Think most of that happened during the day, mostly from scattered showers.
Received an EWN alert at 7.15pm, nothing happened here, looks like it might've been to the south & west.
Mossies are becoming a problem again.

16mm in White Rock. Heard all that thunder down your way on Saturday ronfishes. Didn't get much here, all went to the south. Good to here of good inflows to Tinaroo. Maybe it'll fill this year. Mossies bad here too.
YTD: 269.5mm

On the subject of mozzies. Had the Qld Gov Dengue crew visit my place and they put a mosquito trap on my front verandah.
