What a day! It really was hit and miss as the low stalled just near the QLD border. A short sharp storm hit Camp Hill, a suburb of inner Brisbane, unleashing hail and a microburst that brought down trees and power lines.

Maybe a chance for more storms tomorrow.

Two articles with a summary of what unfolded yesterday with the severe storms and the sharp microburst in the suburbs of East Brisbane. Both very interesting and informative articles to read. For the articles you will need to use the link. The article seen is just a screenshot.

The first article is from AC ( Anthony Cornelius) a meteorologist from weather watch.

And the second from the ABC.

Showers and a couple of thundery showers moving up from the border. Strong winds at the rear flank of the showers/storm.

I finally got time to read those two articles explaining Thursday's storms that you posted Colmait. They were really very interesting and many thanks for posting them.

When I was reading the ABC article I realized that I didn't just imagine on Thursday that the wind was a Westerly that we don't normally get at this time of year.

The BOM is predicting that we will have hot days later this coming week with the possibility of a storm on Thursday and Friday. This is the forecast for the Brisbane area:

That's good advice Colmait, especially about staying hydrated. And we have to remember to keep our pets cool and hydrated as well. In this hot weather it is also a good idea to put some shallow dishes of water in shady areas of our yards for the wild birds, insects and lizards that visit our gardens.

It certainly is heating up this morning and the feel like temperatures are between 2 and 4° above actual temperatures depending on location.

The AWS for Brisbane at 14:00 this afternoon has a feel like temperature of 39°C. The max temperature at this point is 35°C. Although earlier the temperature was higher by 0.7°C, the dew points were lower, now the due points are rising and so is the apparent or feel like temperature .

Usually the temperature will peak around 15:00 so I would not be surprised if we reach the 36°C or the due points rise slightly higher again causing the apparent or feel like temperature to be over 40°C.

It is so oppressive outside that it is just not funny at all.

I really hope the power grid can cope with these temperatures as more people switch on the AC to cool down, Yesterday in Western Australian over 12,000 lost power due to the demand on the grid from the heat.
