Our landline has been good mostly, when we moved in I did a bit of work and got rid of all the extra added on bits
the linesman was good and we put 1 new socket in and fixed all the noise on the line.
Telstra have said that there will be no copper network this side of the river after 2026 so I hope they have a plan
for better mobile service by then.
Maybe I should of brought a Starlink while they were half price, everyone with it is happy that I know of and
very easy to setup.

Fwit Hype it up higgins the grader driver started out chasing storms, then he put his family in danger one day
and there was an accident or incident and his then 2nd wife left him, he found himself a bimbo that believed every word
and setup his weather service and has been hyping up everyday weather ever since. He is a danger.


A few rumbles yesterday but not a drop here.


Cheers

Storm has been above us for a couple of hours now causing flash flooding, not sure how much rain we have had yet but well over 100mm so far for sure

(Morning edit) ended up with 222.75mm which takes me over the metre for the year with YTD 1036mm

Watched that big yellow/orange blob for a while last night tropo. I thought at the time you'd probably get bragging rights today. Good total. We got 34.5mm here, mainly in a heavy shower yesterday arvo.

YTD: 766mm

I wonder if it will sit on the coast again tonight ? A nice solid mass of good rain slowly making it's way to the coast.


Love the way we get 100mm variations in our little area :)


Cheers

5.45pm this afternoon had 26mm in the gauge. A decent downpour from about 4.30pm, and still sprinkling on and off at 7pm.

I've really gotten used to this nice weather. Hard to imagine it in it's usual state now.

Ended up with 150.5mm overnight thankfully it slowed up. I love the rain more than anyone but man since the 15th of December the longest dry spell I have had is two days in a row without rain that’s it. Some of my fruit trees are starting to suffer and look to be getting wet feet/rotten roots and there is no end in sight showers for the next 7 days incredible.

Anyway that brings me ytd 1186.75mm

Gotta love this sentence from a BOM Facebook post😁

The coming week is typical summer weather for much of Australia, with heatwaves, elevated fire dangers, heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and tropical lows.

So the official term for “we have no idea where it’s going to go” is dances around. Learn something new every day😂

MODELS ARE IN STRONG AGREEMENT THAT 91P WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS IT
DANCES AROUND THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA NEAR THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA
OVER THE NEXT 48-72 HOURS BEFORE ULTIMATELY TRACKING SOUTHWARD
OVERLAND.

1.5mm here in White Rock in the last 4 days. Hopefully that dancing low in the gulf drags the monsoon trough down over our area. That could give us some heavier rain. The forecast looks good.

YTD: 767.5mm

Judging by the latest Cairns forecast the monsoon trough must be coming down our way.
