Hi all,
Well it finally happened Adelaide has had a great amount of rain (not sure
on exact totals yet because it's still raining). It has been raining on and
off all day and boy did the gardens need it. Hopefully we will get the
totals by tomorrow, and hopefully we will get a little more.
At 1:20pm while driving home from work I experienced light drizzle and fog
which covered most of the northern suburbs near Parafield Airport. This was
very hazardous as the roads were very slippery and there are many road
works in the area. This drizzle didnt last long but it cleaned the car of
mud :)
Further on into the day the rain got a little heavier turning into a light
shower, which lasted well onto this email. I received a report of very
heavy rain in the South of Adelaide near McLaren Vale and Victor Harbour,
which is good for them, but we didnt see any of it as the rain band moved
off to the east and we near Parafield only received the top end of this band.
Oh well hope all get some good rains and or storms see you later.....

Cool, not cold here in the mountains, about 8 degrees at 8 am. Very
windy, can't give you an exact wind reading but the gusts are very
strong. Dunno, gusts might be 80 k's or more. It's definately stronger
than "Fresh".
Feels a lot colder than 8 because of the wind.

Hi Kelly,
Did the BoM refuse all together, or is it just in the wrong time frame?
I did work experience at the Brisbane BoM, and I assumed that all BoM
offices (especially Melbourne's) would have work experience available -
however, I do know that there are restricted times. If you're keen, why
don't you opt to do it in your holidays? The time I wanted to do work
experience with the BoM (with school) was not available, so I asked if I
could do it in my holidays - and that was fine with my school, and again
- I'd say any school would most probably allow this.
Anthony
PS - It was great fun!

G'day all,
okay here is the situation, I am currently making an Anemometer (wind speed
measurment device) the problem is i have three, oops 4 options on how I can
go about doing it. first one is simple, go out and buy one, *(BUT WHERE
FROM, IS THERE A PLACE IN ADELAIDE???)*. Secondly goto the BoM and see if
they have any spare, *(ANYONE KNOW IF THE BoM DO KEEP OLD ITEMS SUCH AS
ANEMOMETERS)*, Third one is a bit harder making it out of an old
taperecorder motor, micro/milli amp meter etc..(THIS IS THE ONE I AM MAKING
NOW) and the forth option is to live my life with out wind generated
measurement devices.
Okay now here is the good bit where I ask all of you on your opinions, Is a
home made Anemometer going to give me the same results as a $200 option
from the shop???
If not any ideas how I could make it better?
What about commercial Anemometers??? they are expensive, is there a cheaper
option??
Doeas anyone know of a place in South Australia that manufactures these
things...???

Chas from Strahan
The 7am winds at the airport NE at only 6knots the wind picks up with
each squally shower. The temp is 4C and the hail is a white carpet
across the lawn left behind from a shower over a hour ago. It was a
miserable day yesterday with our max temp 10C before midday and
constant light rain only 6mm since 9am. This morning there was a
lightening strike about 3km across the bay, ( then a heavy fall of
soft hail) which caused a power surge. At the time I was booting up the
computer and threw it into safety mode, no damage done. I only heard
one roll of thunder last night and the one this morning.
CAPE SORELL WIND SSW 18KT

you need to calibrate the thing in knots / kmh / beaufort / mph or use your own
arbitary scale and convert to said units. You could always stick your completed
device out of a (moving) car window to calibrate it... or a Formula 1 for
tornado speeds (: . it would give you a fairly good indication of wind speed.
Electric motors' output increase with rotation fairly linearly. I suspect the
BoM and others use a optical interrupter attached to a digital device with LCD
readouts these days but a motor should be OK for the purpose. It might give you
+-10% if your'e lucky.... surely adequate!
You must try and keep the mass of the whole caboodle down to measure gusts else
your anemometer won't accellerate fast enough to measure transients (gusts) in
windspeed with reasonable accuracy.
Make sure that there isn't an internal regulator on your casette motor else you
won't get any voltage out at all!!!
Try and get a 270 degree analogue meter (does Oz have someone like John Bull or
similar surplus electronic dealer.... not your local Tandy) rather than a
digital one for your readout as you can change the scales quite easily on an
old analogue meter else you'll have to do some mental arithmetic looking at the
voltage on a DVM to convert it into knots / mph etc.
>
> If not any ideas how I could make it better?
Use an optical interrupter device and feed the pulses in through the serial
port of your PC - get some computer whiz to sample the pulse rate with
software and create the neccesary lookuptable for ultimately displaying to
your monitor.... once the raw data has been collected in this way the sky's the
limit!

Hi all
Well in the last 2 hours the temp in Melb has really started to fall. The
wind is a very cold WSW. There are now cold air Cb's evident on the western
and southern horizons, the radar is showing Cbs with some yellow (10-20) at
the southern end of the bay.
The sat pic shows that the best of the cold air is still to the south, and
should move over us, therefore the next 6 hours should be very interesting.
The wind has shifted to the SW at the southern end of the bay and temps
there are near 5 or 6.
I had 12.2mm to 9am, a nice fall, and the best for ages.
Well I'm heading out for another look as the radar shows a cell approaching
my place.

It's about 10C here in Canberra, moderate winds and wet (finally!).
Hopefully there'll be some action in the Alps.

The Bureau in Melbourne certainly takes work experience students -
I've had dealings with a couple. I don't know for sure but expect
there's some sort of limit on numbers, so that's probably what you've
run into.
On the scientific (as opposed to operational meteorology) side, CSIRO
Atmospheric Research may be worth a try, although they're in
Aspendale, which might be awkward to get to if you live on the other
side of Melbourne.

The models haven't handled this at all well - the seriously cold air
wasn't expected to penetrate north of Tasmania, but it has. The
thicknesses seem to have hit about 530 on the latest LAPS analysis
(OO Z - 1000 EST)..
We've had two major bands of showers through in the last couple of
hours, both with some hail. According to a friend at about 400m at
Ferny Creek (Dandenongs) they are experiencing hail bordering on
snow. There are radio reports of snow at Olinda (550m). Melbourne is
currently at 7.6 C. Not sure what the max is so far today, although
the archived METARS suggest the Melbourne airport max is around 9.
I think, but am not sure (and the database is down so I can't check),
that the last sub-10 max in May was in 1977.
The heaviest rainfalls have been in the far south of Victoria -
58mm at Weeaproinah and 53mm at Wilsons Promontory.
The most recent LAPS run does push the cold air through further
northwards, suggesting Canberra will be pretty cold later on today
and tomorrow.

Excellent!
About 10 mins ago it was dark and drizzly (as it had been all day).
Sun just broke through suddenly and there's blue sky abounding.
Hang on - I spoke too soon... here comes the rain again :)
Weird day - but still not very cold for a May day.

Well well, what on earth is this system going to do. I'm at my parents
place in Taralga on the southern tablelands in NSW for the weekend (it's on
the BoM's district boundarys map) , and I'm being reminded of why I love to
come here so often. I think the cold front has just gone through, it's 9.3C
and falling, it's showery - no sleet yet, and I'm begining to feel that
despite the forecasts, I'll be disapointed if I don't see some snow before
morning!
The 1PM (EST) chart does look drastically different from what you would
expect from the one that was issued at 4AM this morning, so maybe I have
hope yet, providing that high behind the front doesn't but in too quick.
No 3PM obs from the snowies!! See what happens.

Geelong's second coldest May day on record.(11 deg measured at BoM out of
town) (Coldest was 9.5 on 27-5-87). My thermometer only made it to 10.3 at
2 pm. It was 6.9 at 11.30 am. Wind swung from SW to southerly at 10 am
with some strong gusts. Urban area rainfall from 6 pm Fri to 4 pm Sat
totalled 16.4 mm. BoM rainfall at Mt Duneed AWS (Geelong AP) is at present
way out of calibration or something with only 0.4 mm registered on the web
page despite all close surrounding places having at least 15 mm. They have
often been wrong in the past and that is one of the reasons Geelong Weather
Services exists. Regards to all, Lindsay Smail.

Brrr is right Nandina.
It's not freezing today, Saturday, yet, (around 7 degrees just now) but
boy is it blowing a gale! Strongest winds we've had since last august
during the snow blizzard, I'd say. Garden furniture blown down the yard,
bin toppled over and it seems to be getting stronger as I sit
here...hope it gets real cold and snowy! :-)

It's around 2 degrees here in the upper blue mountains at approx. 8 pm,
Saturday night with a wet bulb nudging zero. Possible conditions for
snow but cloud is a bit scattered just now, I've got the camera ready
:-) Had very cold, snow like rain earlier. Just a fraction too warm at
that time, so it melted just before it got to us. It was like, very
grainy rain. Lithgow was slightly cooler and wet at 6pm, maybe say, five
degrees there.

A couple of vantage points I found today in my search for 'weather'......
1. Beaumaris Yacht Club carpark
Melways reference: map 86, B8
View: NNW - S
Clear view across Port Phillip Bay - ideal for cold outbreaks like today
Unobstructed views from Williamstown to Portsea.
2. Beaconsfield Parade, St Kilda
Melways reference: map 57, F6
View: W - SE
Another clear view across Port Phillip Bay but further to the north than
Beaumaris.

....... today in the Melbourne area there have been reports of:
thunder ( Greensborough, Balwyn, Geelong, Kilsyth)
.5cm hail (Bayswater, St Kilda foreshore, Greensborough)
funnels (Port Phillip Bay - Werribee & Mornington Peninsula)
snow (to the north & north east of Melbourne, Ballarat, Mt Dandenong)
I've probably missed something, but seeing as I *finally* had breakfast at
4pm & I'm just now getting to dinner, the brain has pretty much ceased to
function....could some of the other locals please fill in the gaps & correct
my listing if you spot any inaccuracy?

The List (details of members of the aussie-weather mailing list) is back,
but the address has changed. This isn't advertised outside this group and
is not linked to any other page.
http://www.rubix.net.au/~cadence/the_list.htm
Please check your details to ensure they are current & email me with any
additions, subtractions or changes. I have included those people on the
list who have provided us with at least a *real* name to go with the email
address. I'd really like to fill in locations as well, and the more phone
numbers the better (especially with November rushing down upon us!!).
Many thanks,

Hi everyone,
Had a couple of showers about lunch time today with small winter
3-5mm dia. hail, but no thunder. The clouds looked rather glaciated near
their bases, so had we had been a bit more elevated, snow could have reached
the ground. Maximum temperature just 11.0 deg. at 15:30 est. The frontal
rain band reached here at about 03:00 this morning, but only resulted in 4.2
mm of rain.
Rod Aikman,

Hi all, Official top temp in Melbourne today was 10.4c the coldest May day since 1977. Top here in Kilsyth was 9.3c At 2.15pm it was just 4.6c here. Snow fell in many parts of the Dandenongs, Ballarat, Mt Macedon, Kinglake and no doubt several other low level locations. Most of the showers and hail has cleared now current temp (11.50pm) in Kilsyth is 4.4c. Dane
