39.5mm here mainly from an inch or so in a downpour yesterday arvo which quickly turned the creek to chocolate just before my usual 4pm beers and swim at the swimming hole.....hopefully it doesnt happen again today though the WZ forecast is for 40-80mm today and tomorrow..

yes Bunyip that blob just died badly on you..hard to believe it happened so quick..I though you were in for a deluge....

Interesting thoughts too SM...particularly in terms of weather looking ahead, later in the week I can see on the 10 day synoptic charts a more typical late autumn/winter pattern of eastward moving highs which will push the monsoonal influences further to the north and SE wind and showers onto our coast...

Is it too early to call the wet season over or will we see a return of the monsoon trough and cyclone possibilities sometime in the next month or so..?

We didnt bother with organised kids summer sports around Tully...most afternoons and weekends without torrential rain were spent fishing or swimming and learning backflips off rope swings at the local swimming hole..
