48.8mm here, really only a few heavy showers to top up the totals. Unfortunately I think it mostly gonna stay north of us Weary, If this small low pops up off the Cooktown coast tomorrow, its gonna move E quickly and I think we will dry up just as quick. |
Records for 2022: 1520mm 2023: 2710mm 2024: 951.6mm (no records April-Sept) |

I just let the GFS run through to the end for a laugh. It has a low moving across the cape around 6/3, then hovering in the N coral sea until the 12th before recurving back. |

Ron, in my completely unscientific opinion, it’s the lows that form in the gulf and move across the cape into the coral sea are the ones that come close to Cairns ( Larry and Yasi excepted of course 😬)

Still only *trying* to sprinkle. Looks like the Featherbeds are dissipating most of the rain. Interesting low out over Vanuatu and Fiji. JTWC watching P94. http://www.vmgd.gov.vu/v...test-vanuatu-group-chartEdited by user Sunday, 26 February 2023 9:58:20 AM(UTC)

Sigh... Non-event here.
At least the sun hasn't really come out, and when it does it's not for too long.

But how much fell on each day no one will ever know.. |

Oh my goodness, it's actually raining. Very light so far. Radar looks interesting though, it might be worth checking the gauge tomorrow.

34mm here. Bit of light rain with the odd heavy shower overnight. Very good rain up north again. The little low off Cooktown seems to be moving away this morning. 6 foot of rain in 24 hours. That's about the Cairns annual total. Amazing stuff.
YTD: 1223.5mm

Hopefully will dry us up relatively quickly. Might even be able to hang some washing outside 🤯 |

155mm over here
1311mm February
2128mm YTD
Will be interesting to see where our wet season goes from here, as March is traditionally our wettest month.
Think that little low will pull this weather away and give us a few days of sun.
Cheers

38mm down here Yippee I'll start packing up the boat in anticicpation of a reef trip later in the week... and praying the forecast doesnt change.. also be nice to dry things out a bit...sick of slopping aroiund in the mud so I spent last week cleaning and organising office and shed..the amount of mould is unbeleivable...walls, ceilings, doors, books even the wood and slings on some gunstocks locked inside the safe were covered in mould... BTW, Ron OCC are straight shooters these days...nothing like the scaremongering for subscriptions that Higgins plays up.. Edited by user Monday, 27 February 2023 10:53:37 AM(UTC)

As an aside, if anyone can actually see the night sky, Jupiter and Venus are really close together at the moment.
