A very welcome 7mls here, didn't look like we would get that so happy.

15mm here. We were rain shadowed for the first part of the system, so I wasn't too hopeful. But then it threw it down in the second part, with especially heavy rain around midnight. A howling wind too. Good to have a bit of a boost to the tanks (we're on tank water only here), although we'll need a...

Yes agree, and look at that large black core heading towards Mt. Dandenong

As it heads towards Lilydale, the rainfall strength appears to be weakening, not as ominous looking as it was.

Any chance of a pattern change coming ? Have to say I’m thoroughly sick of being plunged back into winter all the time . It’s the second week of December! And winter began in June! I'm with you there Jimmy! I'm not one to complain about weather, but some prolonged mild-warmish days would be great a...

That is an amazing photograph.

Loved your first shot in particular

Great Photos, thanks for sharing

MTD 236.5ml here in Lilydale and more to come

For tomorrow for example, it's been saying 1 to 10mm for the past 3 days. BoM was adamant on 30mm until the most recent forecast from 4.30pm ...

Not a drop, even though strongly suggested it would rain by the bureau, spent all day out in garden, very humid though.

Yes we have Hail and heavy rain too.

wow ... huge thunder claps, very heavy downpour, and not a word of warning from the BOM

A very dry summer here in Lilydale, 74.5mls ...February being the worst with 7.5mls.
Really hoping for some decent rain later on in the week. Today doesn't look like much.

Yes agree took the dogs to Somers Beach, couldn't get a park anywhere, Balnarring the same, beach very busy too dogs galore.
