I've put up a small page about the Austnet IRC #Weather channel, with
listings of all the ops and regulars (and not so regulars), and a bit of
info about how the channel started and how to get on it.

I've included all people that have been on the channel before (even once)
on the listing as regulars, if theres anyone I've missed, or I've got your
nick wrong, or you've changed locations, then please email me at

Hi every1,

While nowhere near as wet as further north (9 inches makes my mind boggle 
too!) we've still had some welcome rain. 4.5 mm. on the 19th, another 4.5 
mm. on the 20th and 19 mm. till 9 a.m. this morning!

Still quite dark here but satpic shows clearing to the west (but strangely 
not the north-west!)

Cheers,
Kevin from Wycheproof.

An extensive area of 100+ totals in western NSW and south-western 
Queensland to 0900 this morning (no surprise to anyone who saw the
satellite pics yesterday). Mt. Jack (168) is the top - I must
confess to not having a clue where that actually is. Quilpie got 150,
Thargomindah 118, Hungerford 122 and Wanaaring 101. Also a lot of 50+
totals further south. No all-time records that I know of (Quilpie has
been in the 180s, and Thargomindah in the 150s).

The models are all going for more heavy rain in that area (MESOLAPS
peaks at a memorably outrageous 172mm in the 12 hours from 1100-2300
today - I'll believe that when I see it).

The highest unofficial fall in the Werrimull area on Sunday seems to
be 'just over 6 inches' (so 150-160mm).

Hi All

TC LEON-ELINE, which was weakened significantly by crossing Madagascar, has
re-intensified, and during the last few hours has undergone explosive
deepening just off the coast of Mozambique.

It seems that the current solar storm is playing havoc with the satellite
imagery, which is hampering meteorologists in keeping track of the state of
this very severe cyclone.

It is now Cat 4 and still intensifying as it slowly edges in on the African
coast.

Quite an impressive cyclone, this one started off the WA coast and crossed
the entire Indian Ocean!

As some of you may be interested, I have pasted some emails from a cyclone
enthusiest in France who studies satellite images, below:

M Jack Station is adjacent to the larger Mt Pleasant near Peery Lake
(usuallu dry). This area is about 40-50 kms almost due east from White
Cliffs. My Jack recorded 73 mm to 9 am yesterday - 241 mm in 48 hrs and
combined with their 40 mm on 12-13 Feb, seem to have had their annual
average this month. The areal extent of +100 mm rains in the last 48 hrs
is quite incredible.
