I thought that some of you severe weather lovers in Oz might be
interested in the following comments from the weather observer on Fair
Isle about the severe storm that affected northern Scotland on 3rd Jan.
Fair Isle (stn. no. 03008) is located between the Orkney and Shetland
Islands at about 59.5N 1.6W.
-------------------------quotes begin------------------------
Fair Isle, Monday 3rd Jan
Gale F8 increased severe gale F9 0535z and to storm F10 0625z.
Increased further to violent storm F11 0830z and to hurricane F12
0930-0940z. Easing after 0940z to F10. Direction throughout 210-230
deg.
Maximum gust so far 82kt and still blowing F10 at 1140z.
Ridiculous thing is - despite the vis of 1200 - 1800m - I cannot, as
a land station, report blowing spray!!
So far it's been a reasonably steady wind (gust factor about 1.3)
but, if the direction goes more W'ly - or showers develop - this
could increase to around 1.8. Be interesting to see what happens
if/when we catch the 'wrap-around' visible on the latest sat. image
from Dundee.
My Davis WMII above the house ridge stopped recording wind speed for
a time - although the cups were still whizzing round. Guess that it's
possibly a chaffed lead somewhere.
'tis a little difficult doing the obs - the trip down to the screen
from the house is a little exhilarating - often overshooting the
screen only to be brought to a halt as I hit the fence 10 yards
downwind!
Quite honestly I am enjoying this!
Dave
Bear in mind that if this morning's storm had hit London then it
would have been described as the 'Storm of the Century - or a 1 in
100-200 year event.
Here in the Northern Isles such a storm (F11 to F12) can be expected
on average at least once or twice each winter! While I have heard of
some damage in parts of Shetland caused by today's winds this has
been, on the whole, relatively minor. On Fair Isle there was none.
I did have an interesting time trying to stop my three propane
cylinders from blowing over. To give a wider base they are tied
together - a total weight of around 110-130kg. As they are
positioned at the end of the house, with the wind funneling through
the gap between barn and house I first had to fasten a rope to a
ground anchor before 'lowering' myself down-wind. When I reached the
cylinders the rope helped me maintain my feet and position against
the strength of the wind while I tied them down with the rope!
Because of the storms all helicopter movements in the East Shetland
Basin and West of Shetland fields were suspended. Two fixed-wing
flights managed to get into Sumburgh late this afternoon as W'ly
winds moderated to gale force (gusting 50kt). Scatsta, where the new
terminal building roof suffered some damage, was also closed because
of the high winds. Ferry sailings to and from Shetland have also
been cancelled.
Dave
Fair Isle
> Dave, how on earth do you keep your screen from flying away, is it
> tied down?.
The screen went in for the first time in December 1973. MO
instructions for digging in the stand were followed - but
unfortunately the first storm of January 1974 blew the screen over!
I again dug in the screen, but this time put several pieces of six
feet long steel piping across the bottom of the stand about a foot
below the surface. I then put in about a square metre of concrete,
about six inches thick, backfilled the soil and replaced the turf.
The stand has been rock-steady for the past 26 years - although
particular care has to be taken that the two screws attaching screen
to stand remain firm.
In very windy conditions the screen does vibrate and, despite rubber
'shock-absorber' pads in the thermometer clamps, I have to make sure
that the minimum thermometer is set level (book says incline at 2
deg, bulb lower than stem) otherwise the index 'walks'. The grass
min also has to be fastened down to prevent it from disappearing.
Salt spray also adds difficulties - specially if, like me, you wear
spectacles. In the short time that it takes me to get to the screen
the salt deposit on my specs makes it impossible to read the
thermometers. I get round this by having a hand lens (kept in a poly
bag) in the screen. Under stormy SE'ly conditions, as the nearest
cliffs are only 400-500 m away, salt spray also produces the
equivalent of about 0.1 mm/hr in the rainguage.
If it is a 'dry' gale/storm, as was yesterday's, the salt deposit on
the sunshine sphere might prevent burning of the card. As it is
impossible to keep clean - I would have to be out there cleaning it
continuously - I wash the sphere at ob time. If a sequence of short
burns is visible when the card is changed then I know that, despite
the 'mist' of flying spray and low elevation, the sun was strong
enough to burn a trace and a realistic estimate can be made.
Yesterday it wasn't.
Dave
------------------quotes end--------------------------------------
The storm was caused by a very intense low centre passing NE between
Scotland and Iceland. At 0600 GMT on the 3rd it was 953 mb at about
61.0N 8.5W. The temperature at Fair Isle during the storm was about 7c.

Hi all,
Some houses have been damaged in the bayside suburbs of Brisbane, and
quite a few trees were blown over. We saw a very pronounced rain foot
over the area from Mt Cootha, so this is micrburst damage. The rainfoot
extended about ~1km from the actual precipitation shaft, but that's just
an estimate. But it was very pronounced!!!
Since this is just a 15min drive to my east, I'm going to go out there
and have a little look around, and then I'll put my photos in to get
developed.
There was also 10 cent-size hail reported from this storm.
On an interesting note, most storms were low topped, and quite a few
didn't even produce an anvil - with a number of storms looking like
Congestus!!!

Hi Anthony.
Yes I noticed this. Plenty of lightning in non-glaciated congestus. Again
raises the question of charge separation in so called "warm", i.e., non
glaciating clouds. But, I presume that the clouds I was looking at, were
not the ones producing hail, otherwise the above comment is naturally a load
of cods. Certainly we know there was plenty of cold air aloft.
Around 5:00pm took photos of two massive complexes, one out near the airport
with humungous (technical term) development and the other off the gold
coast. Both these had anvils. As dusk fell, I noticed quite a few
lightning strokes out of the clouds terminating sharply in clear air - that
I am hard put to explain.
John.

Hi all,
I have put a report of the Armidale Hailstorm of 1/1/2000 online - you can
access it from here:
http://australiansevereweather.simplenet.com/storm_news/
The report was written by Peter Burr, the BoM observer for Armidale.
Some changes have been made to my report of yesterday's North Coast storm
as well.

There's a beautiful system to the SSE here in Perth at the moment. I'd say
it's around Murdoch Uni. Very pronounced and symmetric outflow, although
the edges are very blurred. Looks like quite a bit of wind up high. Also,
smaller cells sprouting up in quite a few places. The BOM has a severe
thunderstorm advice out for Perth and surrounding areas, so it could be good.

Just spotted a SPECI report (this is a report sent out when there
is a change in conditions deemed to be notable to aviation) for
Melbourne Airport.
Unfortunately the report at 0213 UTC looks a bit dodgy - it would
be exciting if it were true! Among the things being reported are:
- patchy fog
- fog in the vicinity
- hail and rain showers
- recent hail
- recent blowing snow
I'm told it was a dummy report which somehow found its way into the
real system - good for a few laughs...

Howdy all.
Latest Radar pic - (BOm fixed Darwin Radar after I rang the Met Radar guy and
asked why it was broken.....) shows cells popping up everywhere.
Latest Atmospheric soundings has LI's of -5 and CAPE at 2238 - so they should
be a little more eventfull then yesterday.
Hooray!
Currently a dark mass of storm to the east around Palmerston - radar has pink
in it. Heres hoping some more will drift this way.
BOM reckon that Monsoonal trough will strengthen again by Sun/Mon with some
interesting weather possible by late next week with a surge in the ISO active
phase.

Howdy. If you notice the time of my mail it was earlier in the day. That
forecast is a general one - the specific forecast for Darwin was for
afternoon/evening storms - not morning showers/rain which was my point. There
was a prob with Darwin radar - as Webops at the BOM emailed me thanking them
for bringing it to their attention - had been down since 21:48 UTC.
Paul. :-)

Hi Everyone,
We had quite a nice day yesterday! The day started off very ordinary,
with concerns that there might not be very many storms at all! But it
panned out quite well.. by 12:30pm ish we could see our first storm in
NE NSW, and soon after Congestus and Tcu started popping up all over the
place.. there were some nice storms in southern SE QLD - but north was
really where all the best action was (that's where Rosco and I were
going at first - but changed our minds at the last minute)..
I ended up taking almost 200 pictures with my digi cam! Mind you i was
trying out different settings etc etc - i ended up with 80 pictures that
are worthy of a place in the chase report - which will be up by this
evening..
As Anthony has already pointed out, there was damage in Brisbane from a
storm (which we have plenty of pictures of).. there was also a report of
50 knot winds from the Tarong Power house (roughly NW of Brisbane) - and
also a report of a funnel cloud in Boonah! (which is where we were for a
couple of hours - but took off east later in the afternoon)..

Hi John,
We also observed this clear air termination from a storm over Moreton bay
around sunset (maybe the one ynar the airport?) from our location
near Woody Point on the Redcliffe peninsula. Anthony should have some
video footage of this, and (maybe!) a photo or two. We also noted the
variablility in lightning activity within this storm, ranging from about 1
discharge per second, to virtually nothing and back again, with the
changes happening very rapidly. There was a possible explanation for this
I think - the lull coresponded pretty well with Anthony getting his camera
and tripod set up, so mystery solved there :-).
Seriously though, there was some regeneration along the flanking line, and
I think the bursts of lighning activity corresponded to these cell coming
to maturity. As noted elsewhere, maturity in this case was very low
topped, with no glaciation.
Oh, and its nice to have a name instead of "the ASWA bloke in Mt Crosby" -
that should save a lot of time! :-) Nice to "meet" you John.
Cheers,
Jonty.

Hiyas All....
Sorry a bit late withg this report but I am still crawling with rellies here
in paradise at Evans Head.
Watched yesterday's storm develop to the NW and heard thunder. Michael
called and I jumped on the radar. Micheal took some pics from the Plateau
(west) and I got some back end shots from here. No major damage from what I
have heard....pea sized hail in Ballina from my sister there with the kids
at the local supermarket complex, and similar sized hail for about 5-10
minutes in Ballina-Lennox Head-Byron Bay, followed by 15-20 minutes of what
was described to me as "torrential rain".
Regards Halden Evans Head

Two of the medium range models have low pressure in the Tasman as well
as inland for Tuesday/Wednesday next week with high pressure from the
south Tasman to the Bight.
Anyone have any thoughts on whether there will be a major rain event, or
perhaps another Bass Strait bomb..?

My parents in central Ballina reported jagged hard hail the size of large
marbles (about 2cm diameter) around 3pm. The hail was reported to be
bouncing in all directions. This is similar to the size John Graham
reported from his house a few blocks away.
In the local media today, it was reported that hail the size of golf balls
(4cm) fell in Lennox Head, with the smaller stones in Byron Bay and Ballina.
The higest rainfall total reported from the storm was 26mm at Ballina, but
there was no report from Byron Bay or Lennox Head.
regards, Michael

Dec 23.
http://www.braenet.com.au/~disarm/thunderstruck/1999/december23.htm
Also have these photos from December 30, stupid me never got a photo of the
supercell up north James Harris was on.. not to worry, im sure he and
others have photos of it...
http://www.braenet.com.au/~disarm/thunderstruck/pictures/dec30-1.htm
http://www.braenet.com.au/~disarm/thunderstruck/pictures/dec30-2.htm
These were storms over Katoomba, had a warning out for it for 20 minutes or
something, 3 seperate anvils in photo 1, and 2 updraughts. (no its not
backsheared, its just the side of the anvil spreading out)
Michael B -> Great reports there for those few storm days in a row you had!
gret stuff, really enjoyed reading them, let me know when you get the
photos done!
