Misty drizzly 24 hours around Hobart. Another 2mm here, but 12mm on the top of the mountain. Closes out this part of the event, though a strong front here through on Monday, but most rain will sit over northern and western TAS. Awesome to see good falls through the centre of VIC and eastern Tasmania...

Rainy night for eastern TAS. Wettest day in Hobart for a month, with some higher falls in the hill suburbs… locally topping 25mm. Still raining lighty. Few spots have seen their wettest spell in over a year. Definitely short of a drought breaker but really welcome. Surprised to see central Victoria ...

Had our first short but quite heavy shower earlier. Bizarre experiencing almost stormy weather with the barometer at 1032 hPa :? (I'm weather-confused a lot these days.) We’ve now had about 15mm with a barometer above 1035hPa. Been foggy to sea level for 48 hours and barely stopped dripping on us. ...

Slow moving broad trough in the easterlies looks like breaking up the dry pattern. System has two parts - a dip coming down the middle of NSW likely to reach about Melbourne’s northern burbs. Looks quite wet for the northern country and north central. Melbourne is on the boundary, but looks like the...

EC is pretty optimistic for a 30mm+ downpour here in Friday from the North. Something to picque my interest for the first time in a while. Finally a new thread 🤗 A trough in a high. This one is pumping quite a lot of moisture but doesn’t have a lot of forcing. Still, looks quite good for eastern TA...

Geez progs have another monster high for next week into the following week. There are two weak troughs between then and now. First sits over eastern Tasmania today, but won’t affect Victoria, second is a broad easterly dip around Friday which might sneak into northern Victoria and eastern Tasmania. ...

An unexpected 1mm from drizzly showers last night. Fine again now, but perhaps a sniff of something from a trough dipping south over Vic at the end of the week? Does look like some local showers and drizzle for parts of VIC around Friday. Slow moving so suspect very hit and miss. TAS looks like get...

First proper frost here for the year. Around 3C in the horse paddock, so pretty patchy.

Highs just roll on.

We might sneak some coastal showers here in the east coast, but looking at VIC, seeing little to none the next 14 days.

Geez progs just keep the high going. Latest GFS has zilch for two weeks and on day 14 the high is still about 1035hPa over the top of us. Never seen anything like this before. Drought is starting to break records across lots of southern Australia now, with the exception of VIC which has had those sn...

0.4mm of drizzle here yesterday. That might be it for the week. Pressure currently on 1035hPa and rising. April was another ordinary month here. Just shy of 40mm. YTD is about 100mm, or just over half of what it should be. Btw the IOD has jumped to +0.7. That’s above the usual threshold, but just a ...

Front through this morning with zilch rain for Hobart and Melbourne

Perhaps the odd stream shower to come with the big high. Lots and lots of rain in NSW. Looks quite concerning on the coast up there.

Thread for the next long long spell of nothing weather. This time a very slow and big high anchored in the bight that looks like dominating the weather for a week or two. Will be southwesterly tending southeasterly flow so some showers near the coasts, but for most just cool autumn weather.

Will start a new thread for another long stretch of nothing weather. Geez the patterns are stuck atm.

Very handy 7mm here. Couple of spots locally got near 15mm, but overall delivered around 5-10mm. Great little system for northeast TAS with a few spots around an inch. Dusting of snow on Kunanyi and quite a heavy fall on Ben Lomond. Now back to southwesterly to northwesterly stream weather. A strong...

Progs dropping the low, but still a sharp front. Unfortunately the faster movement means rain will be less, and mainly confined to the usual wet spots.

Hoping to see at least a few mms here after just 1mm in the past two weeks.

Will usher in a spell of showery westerlies.

Thread does the coming week with a strong front which might might briefly form a low near Tasmania. System looks mild and quite windy initially, but has a nice slot of cold air behind it. It’s not tapping tropical moisture so won’t be a big rain event, but hopefully pretty widespread 10-25mm for TAS...

Mild dry conditions roll on for nearly all of southern Australia. Front of sorts for next week. Looks quite cold and windy, but not a great rainfall producer. Unfortunately quite a lot of reports coming in of severe tree stress and in spots death across southern Australia now. WA is worst with terri...

A mm overnight here. Fronts are just so weak atm, so away from a big hill or a warm bay there’s very little falling.

Good falls around parts of central Victoria, which has had a remarkable run.

Front for next week is starting to get a bit shaky on the progs

Hard to report when nothing is happening. Almost rained here a couple of times but nothing in the gauge. Some light showers around the west of TAS and coastal Vic, which will pick up a bit in the next few days.

We might get something middle of next week, but too early to be confident.

One of those threads you have between threads. Lots of big highs and weak fronts for the foreseeable future. Will make for lots of gloom in central Victoria and the odd shower, but for most of Australia is just more mild sunny days. Hard to pick individual fronts as they wiggle in timing and are all...
