Hi all,
Drizzling rain most of the night. Some static on the radio. No thunder
within my hearing range. Most sport events at Orange, Bathurst, Mudgee,
Dubbo and Parkes areas have been cancelled. Mendooran show cancelled (80 K's
NNW of Mudgee.) Seems rain is widespread. Nothing exciting cloud wise. Some
Cu with 100% coverage of A. Stratus.
At 09.10 16C, 82%, 1019, No breeze
Terry.

Great news! How about just the front and back sheets in glossy colour,
perhaps featuring a chase or funnel of the month thype of thing? If it was
one A3 sheet it could even be pulled out to form a poster!
Just a thought...

Hi All,
I have set up a network of rain gauges in various areas of Orange. I hope
to see if there is a pattern to any particular area and their particular
local environment. Areas covered include industrial, high density housing,
low density housing, parkland including Orange Botanical Gardens on the
North edge of Orange and country sites.
Until I win lotto my own site will be Central Orange then it will be the
country.
Readings taken from the one storm on Thursday afternoon.
Central Orange 20.2, North Central 15, North 6, North Country 2, South
Orange 27
Shows that the rain on the Southern side.
Terry.

Hi Phil,
That would be the best and most economical way of publishing a coloured
spread. My vote is a YES.
What are the subscription costs for the storm news?

Terry...
It is possible to see the locations of your gauges on a map. Are they
all measured around the same time ?

Hi all,
We had rain this morning which has now cleared to mainly fine and sunny
(4/8 cloud). It's warming up nicely and could be in for some action this
arvo as well as tomrrow. Jason in Karratha could be in for an interesting
week with TC Vance expected to intensify further to 945hPa and winds to 160
knts.
Chris or Nick - how did you go yesterday - you would've had to go a long
way north to get something - did you??

And boy is it raining hard - Im not very experienced in rainfall
estimation but I was standing outside my car with an umbrella nad the
few short moents from getting into the car and bringing my umbrella in
got me sopping wet. Even better I saw a lovely CG right in front of me
while driving - turned the radio down to hear the thuinder and there was
a few second gap so it wasnt so close. I tell you what though its was a
really nice surprise!!
Hoping the rain will clean the bat poo from myu car!!

Hi all,
I've had thunder for just over 2hrs now, in this last hour, the rain has
only been moderate, but the first hour we received ~35mm in 1hr (quickly
esimated from the rain guage) with rain intensities up to 100+mm/hr at
times here for short bursts. We had some strongish winds, only
40-45km/h on occassions.
A little bit of fun in Brisbane!

Hi Don,
Email to the address below your postal address and I will send you a map. I
have only just started the idea and still organising reliable readers who
can do a reading at 09.00 every morning. Some of the sites might be moved
later if any unforseen problems occur with that site.
