Re: Burst of winter 23rd - 27th May

Where does round 2 come from? The low is leaving.
Just going by the sat pic, the low may well be departing, but still plenty of moisture heading our way - reckon a good 5-15 mm before tomorrow's out

Re: Burst of winter 23rd - 27th May

System is tracking beautifully. As promised, cloud band back to Malaysia. My pleasure, you guys have sucked the Sumatra Monsoon away from Singapore / Malaysia. It really has been the most boring dull weather hear for the last 3 days. Normally this is the 2nd wettest month of the year, but so far on...

Re: Burst of winter 23rd - 27th May

Nice image Nathan :) Enjoying watching this from afar - just usual hazy, dull humid crap here in singapore. Arriving home Saturday morning, looks like I should miss the worst of it all...
Enjoy everyone

Re: URGANT MESSAGE grab your camera and make $

Hi Shell, I noticed that too earlier this year with Picassa - was really frustrating that they changed it all without notice. What I have found is that since the change, it looks like all my images have defaulted to be visible only to me. (each of the albums in 'my photos' will have a little padlock...

Re: Weather Channel 2013 Calendar Comp.

Thanks Greg, yeah I had a feeling that would be it. Ok for happy snaps. Would love to get a decent lens, just the $$$ make it a no-no. Maybe my next bonus... **sighs**

Re: Weather Channel 2013 Calendar Comp.

I do indeed, Canon 550d, nothing too fancy, but more than enough to have a good crack. just the usual twin lenses, plus a fisheye. The thing I find most frustrating is getting focus set to "∞" correctly - often the images I capture look good on the camera screen, so i keep shooting away - ...

Perigee Moon - May 5-6 2012

Hey astronomy lovers out there, in case you hadn't heard about this, Saturday evening into Monday morning, the moon is at Perigee - meaning it will appear noticeably larger in the sky because it's at it's closest point in it's orbit - it will be, at it's closest, a tad over 357,000km away. The offic...

Re: Extended wet spell May 1st - ?

Feel your pain Astronomer - it's an age-old discussion on here - very frustrating. Looking pretty gnarly today, commute was a nightmare even though it was only light rain :?: Had 23.5mm so far for this event, 12.5 from 9am yesterday. Agree with Geoff - think the next 8 hours or so are going show som...

What's your address again Robyn?? haha Was a lovely surprise this morning, massive flang at 5.20 (actually the lightning woke me). Was sleeping in the back room due to an earlier *very* noisy party on my street and had a perfect view of it coming in. Very heavy rain for just under 10 mins, pulled 4....

Re: VIC - Weather over Easter 6th to 10th April

Must have hit the same time as here Geoff! Wild few minutes, dog's gone loopy, winds are insane - peaked at 79kph just now, 2.2mm of rain, and loads of cc's. nothing photogenic sadly...

Great way to end the season - I reckon that's our last 30c day for a good while :(
