Nothing here today either 28. It looks like a drier forecast for the next couple of weeks.

Great storm last night just after 9pm. A lot of lightning but not close enough to hear thunder or get any of the rain.

We've just had a lovely storm. About 18mm in the gauge at 7.30pm. Saved me watering plants.
Some good lightning and moderate thunder. Think it's just about moved on as I type.

Lucky you :)
Pretty warm days down here on the coast, just back from walking the dog and a cool breeze
flowing down the valley early but you can feel the heat coming as the sun starts to rise on
another beautiful FNQ day.
Can't see any signs of significant weather in the near future either which is a little sad.
Cheers

Can’t have this kind of relentless heat and humidity without some kind of massive rain event. Anyway it’s the offical end of the year for the rain gauges today at 9am. Don’t think I will be getting any more rain in the next few hours so I’m calling mine in for the year. 5021mm for the year. |

Yeah GT got the same feeling about another event.
I've walked the dog and it is about the time I do my rain so that ends the year with 6539mm
At the end of November with 4.3m I was happy that we had had a long wet winter and yes there was a
lot of watering in early summer but overall not a bad year, then well Jasper changed it to a year
we will never forget.
Have a safe and happy night weather watchers and I hope '24 brings us all what we want.
Cheers

Grand total for Chillagoe 2023 ..... 1,519mm
Storm moved up from back of Charters Towers last night, and went to the west. The white on the radar was over us, but zero water fell out of the sky. Didn't even cool us down.
Looks like we might get a couple more light falls over the next few days, fingers crossed.
Is everyone getting sorted out after Jasper and the floods?

Happy new year everyone.
At the start of DEC it looked like an average year of around 2200mm. Yearly total ended up at 3334mm, thanks to the Jasper rain event, 1141 for the month. We even beat the highest here of 3026.5mm in 2011.
Everything back to normal here 28 after putting things back together after the cyclone preparations.

Went out in the boat today along the daintree coastline to see the landslides man they are massive when you see them in real life. |

Short storm, just checked gauge at 6pm - surprised to find 10mm.
(I'd expected 1mm at the most. lol.)

Temp range here for DEC was 23-37°C. A bit of trivia, if Jasper went south as it was suppose to, we probably have had 26mm, not 1141mm for the month.
YTD: 0mm

Ho hummm. Just the usual. No sign of rain. But always hoping. Wondering IF we will get a wet season, or if we already had it.

Your right 28, it's been pretty hot and dry either side of the "rain event". It's looking a little more promising in the next week. We had a little shower the other day, got a mm or two.
YTD: 1.5mm

I've just come in from watering my pots, a look at the radar there's a storm just gone to the northwest of us, and showing a little bit of white at the corner over us. Somehow, don't think there's anything in it. Just teasing teasing teasing... Not much going on anywhere, taking a look at the JTWC. https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html?tropicalEdited by user Friday, 5 January 2024 7:27:59 PM(UTC)

Ended up with 17mm this morning :)
Things are starting to look like a monsoon trough might arrive in a week or so.
That link should work now GT , I forgot to open it so others could see.
Cheers

Last thursday we met an interesting fellow in Mossman. We got talking, as one does, mentioning where we lived and he said he lived in Bamboo. I said, there's only one person I know lives there, he's on a weather forum. I looked up and big cheesy grin had spread over his face. Well, derrr. Hello in person to Mister Gone Tropo. Nice to meet you. And he's dead keen on tropical fruit, though the stuff we planted many years ago from the Rare Fruit Council meetings really needed to be bred up to the best varieties since we found a lot no better than bush tucker if you were starving.
And great falls these last few days, have been hacking at the fertilizer bags to loosen up the chemicals that haven't been touched in many months.

Yesterday there were storms all around us. This evening there's storms around, and a decent one to the south -- but it just seems they..never..make..it..up..this..far.
