Hi peoples :) thanks!! Monbulkian did you see more than one flash? They were in very quick succession. i saw two very quick flashes. my view is obscured by mountains out the front and i could not tell you what the direction was (i am hopleless with directions). if karl is lurking he may be able to ...

Did anyone by chance see extremely bright bluish flashes of light to Melbourne's NE about 15 mins ago @10:05ish?????? There was about 4 of them and they were not lightning, as it was WAY too bright for lightning not to hear thunder, radar and lightning tracker are both quiet yes i did see it. was w...

Welcome! I am sure someone here can help you. Sorry i can't, i just love learning from the others and their weather knowledge. When you get you forum up and running please let us know. My husband is a keen fisherman and would check it out! Good luck

Great to hear we had some nice rain back home. Here in Torquay we had a very windy day yesterday with showers on and off throughout the day. Heard some heavier rain around 10pm. Woke to a slightly chilly morning. Today has been glorious, shorts and t-shirt weather. Perfect day for the kuds to play m...

Thanks guys! My pick was for Tuesday too but my husband thought Monday might be less windy. Will wait and see how things progress. Yes the apostles are beautiful. It has been at least 4 years since I have seen them. The kids are finally old enough for the drive and to have memories of seeing the apo...

Had around 10mm with the change yesterday. Was a decent blow too with winds to around 80kmh around 7pm last night. Not much left today. Should be a return to great sunny skies for the rest of the week and the weekend actually looks half decent so I think some sunbaking, possibly nude, will be takin...

16mm here in Monbulk as well in the last 24hrs. Glad there wasn't much more. The ground is very soggy underfoot. Will be interesting to see how much more it will hold and what rain is still to come. Noticed that the Monbulk Creek was very high near one of the little picnic grounds near the Monbulk-K...

Wow! Just emptied the rain guage. We had 35mm here on top of the 4mm i emptied out yesterday morning. I knew we had a lot of rain but i didn't expect that much. Must have been in the sweet spot.

9mm of rain here to 9am. A lot acheived here today- got the lawns mowed, veggie garden ready and the burning done. All that is left is the weeds incl. onion weeds in the garden beds

You should be up here now you two, it's absolute mayhem! (6.45pm)

I know Had to get back to hubby and the kids. Lightning looked impressive from home. Will be interesting to see what is too come looking at the radar

Karl and i have just come back from sky high. Fantastic views of the storms over the city and macedon and out to wonga park. We intercepted the storm at kalorama. watched a few lightning bolts over silvan. Not bad for august.

We had 60mm here for the event. Last 24hrs we had1.5mm. I will work out my monthly and year to date totals soon and post them in sppropriate place. I am excited to see if we have also topped the 1000mm mark

Had 11.5mm here yesterday. Sitting at 110mm for the month. What we missed out on this morning we are making up for it now. Rain has been heavier than the radar has been showing for here. Looks like we have had 6mm this arvo but it is too wet to check the guage. ground is very wet in the area so lots...

28mm in monbulk last 24hrs. Very heavy drizzle at home. Heading to phillip island for the weekend, rained until pakenham. Sun shining at smiths beach. Hope weather only improves

Very strong gusts of wind and the grass is covered in hail here

We have had around 10mm here as well. Rain to heavy to go out and check accurately

11mm here over last 24hrs. Looking forward to possible snow on thursday at olinda. Will the best chance be first thing in the morning or in the afternoon? The kids have been nagging me to take them to the snow so i would hate to miss it.
