Thanks SM. Wonder how long they had to wait for that. Not very I suppose.
Had some afternoon showers.

A lovely wet night here has left 124mm in the gauge this morning :)
Looks to be setting up to keep up with some good totals.
How you getting on Scott ? some big falls down your way again overnight by the sounds of things.
Cheers

Bang on 100mm in the gauge this morning. Great to able to sleep with an open window and listen to the rain bucket down without the noise of the &*$#@ frogs.

55mm here.. Bunyip I'm amazed you arent sick of the wet season already up there.. and yeah some totals up to 250mm locally but as you would expect with a strong SE flow its very patchy with the showers moving through pretty quickly.. and weary i'm glad its not just me that gets annoyed at the frogs....my missus thought i was a madman when almost every night i went stalking frogs out the front..sometimes it took quite a while to locate them as they shut up when you are close making it difficult to figure out exactly where they are....... and great capture SM...they are certainly moving about this year..

Scott, a few years ago the frogs decided that the curved wall of my pool waterfall was the perfect megaphone and I was out there every night hunting them down. Got rid of them eventually but now there has been a population explosion in the park and rainforest gully at the back of my place.

Scott no point getting worked up with the weather, yeah a week or 2 of nice sunny days and gentle breeze would be bloody nice, but you can't expect that in March. Places I work we still have fences down from Jaspers flood, and can't get to them as it's just soup. The big hope is that March is our last big event for the season and April is a nice dry month so we can get a bit of work done straightening the places up. Funny AI pic there. That would of been a horrible feeling for that mum, when she saw the footage. where I've seen them getting up to the last couple of years No many old swimming holes are safe any more. Every year they seem to push further up into the skinny water.
SM I forgot to comment on your screen capture, see that fella a bit up Barrett's Creek, my neighbor has cattle on a block over there. I spend a bit of time up in there.
Showers keep blowing through, some heavy, with the big tides it won't take a lot to get the river into flood again.
Cheers

Only 5mm from a shower late afternoon.
All that rain around, fingers crossed we get a bit. You wouldn't think it could miss us, but it's more than likely.
Weather has cooled somewhat, so we're in for some gorgeous days ahead, before it all turns brittle. 😁

52mm here this morning, was not as wet as I thought it might get. Still very wet around here today, with showers pushing through and a heavy gray sky.
Cheers

Yeah Bunyip, it looked like that band of yellow/red was going to hit you, must have slid north or south?
Anyhoo 53mm here this morning.

Had a wicked squall come through yesterday arvo, I've resorted to updating my rainfall from the Gordovale gauges atm until I have a fence to put the nylex on. Its been washed over a couple of times now lol.
Looks like another squall to hit very soon.

For something bigger, a proper sized pot should probably have enough weight to hold it in place, unless you're getting fast running water I guess. ** No mms in the gauge overnight. This morning I could have sworn it was the beginning of the Dry. Even the paper as I put it in the printer didn't feel "soggy" any more. But an hour later the clouds came over and we've had a lovely shower of rain.

7mm here since this morning. The Cassowary Coast blob has sat there all day. Seems to be slowly moving this way. Nice falls down Innisfail way by the looks of things. Light drizzle here.

95mm yesterday/last night...and showery all day today as well....a fair bit of water coming down the creeks just now...
Bunyip do you know how far is the Bairds gauge from Daintree village..?..its showing 448mm for the past 3 days...while Daintree village is 132mm for the same period...Could that be right..?
and i see Mossman area still having problems with water supply...geez it must be an absoulte nightmare trying clean up and get infrastructure fixed up with this continuous wet....I guess you are right Bunyip..no use stressing too much about it..just have to wait till it dries up to get the fencing and clean up done..nothing worse then bogging vehicles and chopping up roads and paddocks trying to get on the ground in this weather...

Scott, Bairds gauge is at the CREB track crossing that's about 10 or 12km upstream and yes it could of had that much discrepancy between there and the village. Not sure if you listen to ABC radio sometime they give a recording for Keith in upper Daintree , He is about 2km from the Bairds gauge.
Fairly wet day yesterday and overnight.. 127mm in the gauge this morning.
Managed to walk the dog with just a light sprinkle before daylight but it has set back in for now.
Got a thermal monocular for hunting the other day and every time I go outside it starts raining again, shows up the white tail rats in the coconut palm very well, piggys are going to be in trouble when it drys out..
Cheers

Speaking of differences in gauges. There are 2 at the Cans airport at either end of the runway (as far as I can work out) and I have seen differences of 20 mm at times. Also I am about 2km as the crow flies from the airport and sometimes get up to 40mm difference between my guage and there
32mm overnight.

Same here with the racecourse gauge Weary. There can be big differences between here and there and it's only 4km north. Last night was an example, 59mm here and 35mm at the track.
MAR: 294.5mm YTD: 1360mm

There's a couple live at the edge of town who get rain when we don't.
I can often see the rain pass in front of the hill, and not rain here.
My diagonal neighbour will sometimes manage a couple mm & I can miss out.
