Our landline has been good mostly, when we moved in I did a bit of work and got rid of all the extra added on bits
the linesman was good and we put 1 new socket in and fixed all the noise on the line.
Telstra have said that there will be no copper network this side of the river after 2026 so I hope they have a plan
for better mobile service by then.
Maybe I should of brought a Starlink while they were half price, everyone with it is happy that I know of and
very easy to setup.

Fwit Hype it up higgins the grader driver started out chasing storms, then he put his family in danger one day
and there was an accident or incident and his then 2nd wife left him, he found himself a bimbo that believed every word
and setup his weather service and has been hyping up everyday weather ever since. He is a danger.


A few rumbles yesterday but not a drop here.


Cheers

Gabrielle travelling pretty much to the track forecast by BOM and GFS models. Looking very impressive now on the sat pic. It's dried out nicely here, a few mowers can be heard.

YTD: 731.5mm

Storm has been above us for a couple of hours now causing flash flooding, not sure how much rain we have had yet but well over 100mm so far for sure

(Morning edit) ended up with 222.75mm which takes me over the metre for the year with YTD 1036mm

Wow that's a nice fall GT
Only ended up with 98mm over here. That gives me a YTD 1049mm

Some of the models show a fair bit ahead but not real sure how we will go.


cheers

Oh and internet was restored yesterday around 14:30 see how long it lasts.


cheers

Watched that big yellow/orange blob for a while last night tropo. I thought at the time you'd probably get bragging rights today. Good total. We got 34.5mm here, mainly in a heavy shower yesterday arvo.

YTD: 766mm

I wonder if it will sit on the coast again tonight ? A nice solid mass of good rain slowly making it's way to the coast.


Love the way we get 100mm variations in our little area :)

5.45pm this afternoon had 26mm in the gauge. A decent downpour from about 4.30pm, and still sprinkling on and off at 7pm.

I've really gotten used to this nice weather. Hard to imagine it in it's usual state now.

Holy [censored]some of you guys got smashed..!..

I'm not even envious...although we have only had light showers and a bit of drizzle there hasnt been much sunshine, so the ground is very sodden and my toes are starting to get the familiar funky toe itch...

I hoping for a good wet season and a dry start to the winter without any damaging cyclones...

Too much to ask for ya reckon...?...BigGrin

Ended up with 150.5mm overnight thankfully it slowed up. I love the rain more than anyone but man since the 15th of December the longest dry spell I have had is two days in a row without rain that’s it. Some of my fruit trees are starting to suffer and look to be getting wet feet/rotten roots and there is no end in sight showers for the next 7 days incredible.

Anyway that brings me ytd 1186.75mm

Reminds me of living in Millaa Millaa. So many plants in my garden just rotted, even stevia.

We had 32mm this morning, with 26mm of that falling late yesterday afternoon.

209mm for the month, if I've added up right. 😊

Gotta love this sentence from a BOM Facebook post😁

The coming week is typical summer weather for much of Australia, with heatwaves, elevated fire dangers, heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and tropical lows.

LOL...😁

At least when everywhere else is having a heatwave, we're usually comfortable up here.

Gabrielle has taken all the moisture away. 31% humidity today.

Google Earth has shown cloud for a while, but now has the last 24 hours looping. Good view of Gabrielle.

So the official term for “we have no idea where it’s going to go” is dances around. Learn something new every day😂

MODELS ARE IN STRONG AGREEMENT THAT 91P WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS IT
DANCES AROUND THE GULF OF CARPENTARIA NEAR THE CAPE YORK PENINSULA
OVER THE NEXT 48-72 HOURS BEFORE ULTIMATELY TRACKING SOUTHWARD
OVERLAND.

LOL.BigGrin

Nice overcast day. Very pleasant. Tried to rain but failed. So far.
30.3degreesC and 48% humidity at 3.45pm.

Just found this on twitter. They had an aerial view of Auckland then zoomed all the way out to show a sat view of ex-Gabrielle. Haven't figured out how to use it yet, but might be a handy new toy.

1.5mm here in White Rock in the last 4 days. Hopefully that dancing low in the gulf drags the monsoon trough down over our area. That could give us some heavier rain. The forecast looks good.

YTD: 767.5mm

Tried to sprinkle yesterday. Heard some sprinkles overnight. Even got up to check the gauge before the sun came up, to find absolutely zero, not even a drop.

Still, it's been another nice cool overcast day. Not sure I'll be able to cope with the Dry after all this wonderful weather.

Judging by the latest Cairns forecast the monsoon trough must be coming down our way.

Not shown on weather maps yet.

JTWC has their eye on 91P, but BOM thinks it'll likely waffle around in the Gulf then head west. Not for us.

The mock orange is blooming everywhere in Chillagoe, even my own. So we must be going to get more decent rain.
