Hi all
The BoM have put up a "summary of events" relating to Severe TC Vance which
shattered Exmouth. You can find it here:
http://www.bom.gov.au/info/cyclone/vance.shtml .
There is a link to radar images there, but it doesn't work. I found the
radar images however at http://www.bom.gov.au/info/cyclone/vance2.shtml .
Truly awesome is all I can say!
Happy Easter people!
Regards
James Chambers

Where's Nullagine?
I've just written this up for the Aust Weather News, and I didn't see
any comment on it on aussie-wx. It's datelined 27 March:
>An area of storms which developed late last night brought heavy rain to the Pilbara region of Western Australia this morning.
>Nullagine Post Office, 200km southeast of Port Hedland, reported 192mm in the 24 hours to 9am, most of which would have fallen
>after midnight. If confirmed, this would be Nullagine's heaviest daily rainfall since records began in 1897, the previous highest fall
>being 153.2mm. Other heavy falls were Carlindi Station, 70km ESE of Port Hedland with 112mm and Yarrie Station, 170km ESE of
>Port Hedland, with 86mm.
The surrounding falls, and the mass of rapidly developing high-topped
cloud in the region on the IR satpix at the time give some credence to
this figure. Any ideas, Blair?

Patrick, this is quite extraordinary, but when did it occur? The date
stamp on your email is 31 March at 1600 PST -- is that Pacific Time,
US? -- which my ISP and email interpret as Thursday 1 April.

Some pretty heavy rain around Sydney in the early hours this morning
(Friday). Here are the more interesting Auto Wx station reports -- a
key to interpretation is below. 22.8mm at Observatory Hill midnight to
1am, and 31mm at Norah Head in the same hour. Radar shows a big area
of 2-10mm/hr rain roughly Wollongong to Mudgee to Taree.

Very heavy rain in NE suburbs of Sydney and central coast overnight.
At Frenchs Forest, I have had 114 mm since 9 am yesterday, 110 mm of
which fell between 6 pm and 6 am and 64 mm fell between 10 pm and
midnight.
Heavier on Central coast with Bateau Bay having 148 mm since 9,
including 61 mm in the hour 11-15pm to 12.15 am. and 90 mm in 3 hours -
both a retrun period of 1 in 12 years for that site.
Rain has now (7 am) eased.

Actually, the max was 15.6, and the temp hung around 12-13 for so much of
the day the BOM thought the record would be smashed, but just after 4.00pm,
the stratocu broke up a little and up went the temp. It cetainly felt
cool, particularly after the very hot end to summer.....

G'day Michael,
Fascinating stories. Why do we do it, or should I say, why did we we do
it? I tore a rib cartlidge doing a similar thing to you, getting back
slammed and the like in a sucky sand break. Busted ribs, concussion,
busted ears and popped discs etc were part of surfing hollow breaks. I
used to watch the lows develop and then head for the van at Ulludulla.
that's where my real interest in weather started in my late teens and
early twenties.
One time down south, no exaggeration, a very strong southerly buster
came through, maybe 35-45 knots, (really strong and blinding). As I left
the break (blown out) I was literally lifted a couple of feet into the
air by a strong gust and dropped down again. I was holding onto my
bodyboard really tightly at the time and it obviously acted like a sail.
It was so much fun I tried to get it to happen again but succeeded in
only losing my body board to another strong gust - had to walk down the
beach a hundred yards or so to retrieve it.
Lindsay.

Hi Macdonald,
I'm sure you have some nice weather to produce decent swells down there
mate :-)
Years ago (about 8 or more) we had a great e/ne swell in Cronulla
courtesy of a QLD cyclone. It wasn't the biggest I've surfed but it was
around 8-10 feet (a few 12 ft rogues) and very powerful. Heavy waves,
very thick and dangerous - broken boards. Surfed Voodoo, a reef off
Cronulla, and the scariest part was trying to get back in! I ended up
cutting myself pretty bad and had to stitch myself there and then. I was
SH.T SCARED and took most waves near the shoulder coz it was sucking
nearly dry. A few guys pulled in and got concrete barrels!
Thank God for those lovely cylone swells. I got some of the barrels of
my life out of them - and headaches! Still haven't recovered full
hearing in my right ear from a blowout in those days. But as any surfer
would tell you - it was worth it.

Hi everyone,
Jimmy here in Schofields NW Sydney. No hail but nice cool weather and rain
periods persisting. 21mm of rain mostly overnight. The cloud mass is
persisting and developing to the SW of the cloud band so it seems that more
rain is on the way and may also affect the Illawarra Michael Thompson later.

Mostly dry overnight here, very frustrating as I could see the rain over the
northern suburbs of Wollongong.
Still dry today, but the wind has strengthened a little and there is more
broken Cu in the sky, rather then the uniform cloud of yesterday. I see this
a positive sign. I think that we will get some showers tonight.
Michael

Hi everyone. A upper level trough is forming near WA at the moment and
will be here (Melb) by Sunday night. The Li's for the west of both NSW
and VIc are in the negatives and the tot-tots are b/n 50 and 55 along
most of the trough line. There is a good jet stream over NSW and Sth
Qld. Good vorticity is evident at 500 and 700mb in patches around SE
Aust as well. We'll get some good rain at the very least and hopefully a
storm or five on Monday.
