39.5mm in White Rock in 2 days. A good SE blowing here this morning. That was very heavy rain in your area yesterday Bunyip. That trough seemed to stay a little off shore of here.
YTD: 1590.5mm

146mm total for the last 3 days certainly has made things boggy and wet after a week of drying out...
Woke up at about 4am with a very heavy deluge for an hour or so..
Looks like 28 might be right about the seasons changing with the Sou'easters setting in with a vengeance this week....and yes Ron I also really pray we dont now just get 4 endless months of SE stream showers and constant 15-25 knot winds....
I've just started cleaning the red scummy stuff off the solar panels..already cut back some bamboo which was inhibiting light as well....seems to not have been such a great idea to put them on a near flat skillion roof as with the wet season there is near-constant water laying on the bottom of the panels and serious algal growth on the glass...we have actually had a small bill the past couple of months rather then a several hundred dollar cheque in the mail like the first year we had them....
I am really over this wet season already...

Scott im also very over this wet season, we have had similar rainfall to you past few days and once again everything wet and muddy after that dry spell. I told my wife the wet season was nearly over but these SE showers are bringing in more than expected.
Could be worse though looking at bunyips rainfall he has had a heap more than anywhere else 250mm+ last two days, i seriously dont know how you ever get your lawn mowed living over there in the daintree. |

Lol it can be a challenge at times but only takes a few hours of sun and most of it can hold the mower.
114mm this morning, really ramped up from before light.
Cheers

LOL - the best I can report is a very very heavy dew this morning.
Looks like I'll have to lay out the hoses again. At least that will get it off the deck...

Just 9.5mm overnight but light rain persisting today....
and yeah Tropo- it could be worse.. Bunyip can keep his 2600mm Gumboot though thanks...we are yet to crack the 2m mark here..
28 I think you are right..once those highs start stacking up and beginning their slow eastward march its just the coast and rangs that see the crappy showers..
Thats unless we get some more monsoonal action which the boffins think is unlikely...although it was this week in 2006 that I watched pieces of peoples homes and roofs fly by from the safety of the Silkwood school on the western edge of town during a little doozy called Cyclone Larry..
Still time in theory this season I guess..

Bunyip its really not even the amount of rain rather then the amount of wet days and persistant showers that bug me and keep everything so wet, mouldy and muddy...Have you lived up here all your life.?...I first came up 35 years ago and just the past couple of years am getting a bit sick of it.. Although we had a heavy shower earlier in the week which somehow ended up coming through the ceiling in the back room and has destroyed my ceiling plastering...I have had issues here and there ever since having the roof replaced after Yasi...it was my first time dealing with insurance and builders as originally I built a shed which I converted into a liveable shack (with no leaks).. Anyway a light shower here this morning but the week ahead looks pretty nice with some good fishing or beach weather.. I saw this article and felt her pain....7 days in hospital..!..she must have really got right in there... Has anyone else experienced stings from the Gympie...?....I have had 4-5 encounters..mostly just walking into or brushing leaves on arms, legs and back of hand..thankfully not a full body experience like this woman but enough one time to have to visit an old local pharmacist who gave me a bottle of chloroform/ether which he advised would help to dissolve the stinging hairs to some degree...as we know the pain persists for sooo loong though and basically every time you sweat or get wet its starts stinging again.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11893147/Gympie-Gympie-plant-aftermath-Mum-fell-Cairns-painful-struggle-suicide-stingers.html?ico=related-replace

Haven't had the pleasure of walking into a stinging tree yet. The parents tried to teach us kids what to look out for when we ventured into the scrub. I have experienced the bedroom ceiling coming down in a heap however. Cyclone Larry did mine in.

Storms up the top sounded good yesterday arvo , but as expected they fell apart on the range and never made the coast.
Looks like A nice little line of storm Dimbulha to Herbeton this morning. Lucky bugga's .

Nice bit of colour on the radar out your way last night 28. Plenty of lightning and rumbles to the SW of here. The rain only made it as far as Copperlode Dam by the look of it. GFS not forecasting much for the next fortnight.
YTD: 1639mm

Bit more lightning and thunder. Before the rain there were a few really good bolt strikes around the place. It rumbled around in the distance for hours before we even thought it might reach us.
