Becoming hot ahead of a change with possible rain and storms: February 10-14

IMO i think people have moved to other platforms because this page had too many rules which killed the majority of the interesting discussions about weather.

Re: Becoming warm to hot, followed by showers: January 22-27

Just enough sun today to finally ripen those poor tomatos that were hanging in there, but now they have split....too much wet cold and then heat/sun....I feel their confusion this contrasting weather makes me feel the same....

Re: Developing low with more rain and storms: January 15-20

well the lack of hours of sunlight is impacting the tomato and other crops i am growing this year, just not enough sun for flowering and too damp things are rotting, it should be very hot and dry by now which is that brings out the summer crops. As I say if we ever had to rely on local produce in th...

Re: Deepening low with rains and storms: January 7-10

Very very humid day with light rain on and off, no thunder or downpours.

It seems all the action is up in the wimmera/mallee although models were saying there was to be lots more here with thunder and lightning but it seems like a lot of these systems its saying away from here

Re: Mild then more showers, 29 Dec to 5 January

and the forecast storms for here gets changed to northern suburbs - that's not forecasting, that's changing it as it goes (ie reporting)

Re: Mild then more showers, 29 Dec to 5 January

something brewing out in the western district, looks like it will go north, haha too south or north seems to be the way cant win, it has to go between eventually

was really hoping for a good downpour to test the gutters!

Re: Wet Christmas 23 to 28 December

Lots of rain but very frustrating in terms of thunder, we only had a storm slip by to the east around 6pm on xmas eve, then apart from the rain just a few distant rumbles late last night. I would hope we'd get some thunder eventually actually here, it seems pretty much everywhere else has had it it ...

Re: Warm then more showers, 4/12 to13/12

nothing at all here yet, no rain no thunder today, however the atmosphere is very primed, the sun and humidity is intense!
