23mm here, started about 7.30 with some bangs and flashes, quickly settled into solid steady
rain until about 2. Pushing 40 for the month so far

Forecast for this area was 20mm and up to 35mm in outer areas. We got 7.8mm. As HB said a bit of a waste of a good inflow with the synoptics not staying strong. Still won't complain that it's raining - little bits all add up.

I have recorded 8.0mm here. As flyfisher posted "little bits all add up" .
MTD 28.6mm.

7mm in FC. Big dud actually. All models had more like 20mm for us, so not a good result.

Very handy system for northern areas, though not quite up to the values the models were tending to show. Btw we did get the humidity record with a PW value of 31.5mm

Farmers in the northern country will be very happy with this which couldn’t have come at a much better time

Soaked down here on the Peninsula, started around 8am and hasn't stopped

Landed on nearly 20mm for the day. Good haul with lots of run off for the dam which I can almost see rising!

JasmineStorm · Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:20 pm

Looks like the front is heading through central areas now.

30mm for the day, 34mm for the thread. 67mm MTD. Only 13mm off the June ave now.

Great to see solid falls in northern areas. Despite starting the day in that rain shadow, conditions improved for us to do quite well in the end here. Managed to get 18mm, and maybe just a little more to come with the band of showers moving in soon. That makes it about 80mm for the month so far, which takes us above average.

Just a tad under 20mm here.

Macedonian · Wed Jun 12, 2019 11:02 pm

I am being smashed by that rain train

Heaviest fall of the day/evening.

JasmineStorm · Thu Jun 13, 2019 6:17 am

Another 7mm on the front last night. 41mm for the thread, 73mm MTD. Fair start to June

Thu Jun 13, 2019 6:20 am

Picked up 3mm overnight so scrapped up to 10mm. Makes about 17mm for the thread. Mainly a northern Vic event though also decent falls in the southern bounce zone. Place at Walkerville scored about 20mm.

Couple of showers to come each of the next three days.

Great falls in the north, but really mild system so wash out for the resorts.

Winter on hold until next week which could deliver some nice cold weather

Macedonian · Thu Jun 13, 2019 7:14 am

41mm for the event and 70 mtd.

StratoBendigo · Thu Jun 13, 2019 7:35 am

25mm here for the event. MTD 45mm. Pea-souper fog this morning.

Looks cold later next week with frosty mornings in the mix.

Gordon · Thu Jun 13, 2019 8:58 am

Great to see those big totals for Bendigo and Macedon/ Kyneton.

We finished up with 26.5mm, so 78mm mtd and 2.5mm short of our June average - hopefully we can knock that off during the thread dates

Amazing event for many inland parts of Vic but east gippy and along the murray missed out far NW also missed out

Widespread 20-40mm much of the state great event.
Wimmera, South mallee and north country crops be in great shape after this and week ofcool mostly sunny weather

4mm here for the event lower than expected

Quite week or so ahead now

Cass · Thu Jun 13, 2019 6:55 pm

I am just out of Bendigo and rainfall was a little less than StratoBendigo had, we had 16 mm for the event which is still nice for all those with crops in

Thu Jun 13, 2019 10:27 pm

Bit of a surprise 5mm and a bit this evening with that slow moving frontal passage. Event just shy of 25mm. Bit of instability the next two days with an upper trough and weak surface troughs, Should see the odd further shower.

Next week looks interesting though how it will evolve is a bit up in the air. The upper trough eventually seees a weak ECL which gets dragged back down into the westerlies to be met by fronts. Looks wintry and showery at this stage.
