37mm here. Currently drizzle and foggy. Very handy system and such a relief to finally get a decent rain event. Amazing totals further east with that relentless rain band. Hopefully it will also be useful for the NSW south coast, which has been extremely dry the past few months and also battling fir...

Almost 7mm so far. A wild morning with gusty winds and steady rain, briefly heavy at times. Great to finally see some rain...

Looks like a big event for eastern parts, and could be quite a shock in areas that have been dry for months. Hoping we’ll see a bit here too, although we’re skirting the edge, so just have to keep the fingers crossed. Even 10-20mm would be welcome as a temporary antidote to the big dry. We have fini...

It's looking like a predominantly eastern Vic system. Some of the forecast rain totals are intense, especially in parts of the north east and east Gippsland (which has been very dry). There's much more uncertainty about how far west any decent rain totals will extend. Will obviously need to see some...

It's looking promising, especially with convergence this far out, but still need to see how things progress over the weekend. I really hope it happens, as we're very much in need of decent rain here now. September will be finishing with just 18mm.

Good to see some rain about and the snow down there HB.

Just 1mm here. That takes the month to a grand total of 15mm. It's looking like we'll end with a very dry month here, especially for spring.

Crazy levels of heat in NSW. I saw reports today that schools have closed on the south coast due to fire danger... and we're barely out of winter.

It's already up to 22.4c here and the wind is picking up. Would love some rain, but unfortunately it's looking very lean.

Wild winds overnight here... again. Pretty much every week from June we've had gale force winds and a severe weather warning from the bureau. An almost relentless pattern of northerlies that has gone on for months. A change would be very welcome. Strange to have a strong, yet bone dry cold front in ...

22.7c here today. A nice summer-like day, and I’m sure the garden is enjoying it. But it’s way too warm for the time of year. Average max for September is around 14c.

Very windy couple of days coming up for here. Might be back to regular watering again soon…

Yes, looks to be a fairly long warm and dry spell coming up, although some of the forecast temps seem way out of place for the start of spring. It’s also not surprising given the broader climate drivers, with the next 6 months likely to bring plenty of extremes. About 12mm for the event here, includ...

A big contrast. A mostly dry day here and now the sun has popped out. Just 0.2mm. Still very windy at times, but definitely improving, albeit slowly.

The wind was pretty bad here last night. Got woken up a lot to hear the house getting battered, and there was a fair bit of mess around the place this morning. Still very gusty this morning, but it has been slowly easing over the past couple of hours. Just a couple of brief showers here today but no...

10mm here. Got quite heavy at times and also better than forecast.

Surprisingly, the wind hasn’t actually been as bad as I thought it would have been. Would be good if it stayed that way, but unfortunately round 2 coming up overnight and tomorrow…

Great result for east central. Way too rain shadowed here with all the wind, so just a very modest 1.4mm yesterday. Feeling spring-like here now, with many trees starting to leaf up and flowers in bloom. A little burst of cooler weather later this week after having almost 20c on Sunday; the typical ...

Crazy, gale force wind overnight here. It has backed off slightly this morning, although still gusting like mad.

Not expecting much rain this afternoon, especially if the northerly is still strong. But hopefully most areas will see a few mm after a mild, sunny weekend.

It does seem like we’re in that pattern now where systems struggle to deliver anything substantial. It’s a shame that the El Niño couldn’t have been offset by a negative IOD coming off last year’s set up - it’s amazing how quickly it all just flipped with the double whammy of El Niño and positive IO...

18c here yesterday, our warmest day since mid-May.

Some drizzle overnight and early this morning with a damp southerly, but only 1.8mm.

Yes, models generally lining up for a bit of rain around mid-week - hopefully it sticks.

A very welcome 22mm here, which includes 3mm on Monday night. Great to finally have a proper rainy day.

Also great to see some decent falls across fairly wide areas of the state. Cool night too. It dropped to 2.5c here overnight. Currently 8c and sunny.

Just a touch over 4mm here too. Probably won’t be much more, maybe the odd shower or two today.

12mm here yesterday evening. A thick fog also rolled in on the southerly, which has been so rare this winter, but something that normally happens regularly in other years.
