Well, I guess it's that time of year when some of us don't have any weather
to speak of, so we start doing other things, hence MSC now has its own
humour page - and welcomes submissions from far & wide....

Hi All,
          Can anyone enlighten me as to the specifications of an
accurate rain gauge; what to look for and what to ignore.
Cheers Peter

Another 70mm in the past 27 hours at Wollongbar (to 6pm), on top of 50mm in
the 36 hours to Thursday afternoon. We've now had about 320mm for June,
quite a bit above the June average of 118.

Today was cloudy apart from a brief sunny patch this morning. Large cumulus
and stratus with cloud bases close to the ground at times - elevation here
is 155m. Only reached 16.3 C with fresh SE winds. Shower and rain activity
has eased off here now, and contracted northwards.

Michael

Peter,

The Nylex 1000 is good, and the BoM will accept readings taken with it.
Always measure at 9am each day and record amounts to the nearest 0.2mm,
rounded up. This gauge has in inner tube that holds about 25mm and the
outer one can hold up to 250mm. Graduations on the tube are in 0.5mm
increments, so its fairly easier to measure accurate totals.

Make sure the gauge is installed close to the ground as far away from
objects - trees/houses as you can.

Michael

I remember the time in 1986 (possibly August) when there was a brief 
snowfall through parts of Sydney.  It lasted about 10 minutes but melted 
fairly quickly after settling on the ground.  I'd be interested to know what 
the temperature was at the time since, although it was cold, I don't think 
it was exceptionally cold.  I seem to remember that the cloud was a tall 
cumulus and this may have been a factor.
