Crosby, perhaps "Flood looms" would be more appropriate. Total rainfall from this event is now 86mm, a very nice total. Prior to this, the April total was just 3.1mm, yet it ended at a respectable 47.1mm. May is already at 42mm after just 2 days. Perusing the BoM site, it seems that I should use the "Ipswich composite" averages for my location rather than the Brisbane AWO. The Ipswich composite annual rain is around 75% of the Brisbane AWO. So my figures for the first 4 months are now as follows: 1999 Ips Mean 2000 % of Mean (122 yrs) ---- -------- ---- --------- Jan: 141.5 124.6 59.9 48% Feb: 333.0 119.8 57.3 47% Mar: 78.6 100.6 23.2 23% Apr: 28.1 63.1 47.1 74% Apologies to those totally bored by all this.

Several NSW stations had minima of 21 yesterday, narrowly missing the NSW record of 21.9 (set at Ballina in 1996). A number of stations have set station records for highest May minima. These include Bourke (19.0, previously 18.8), Walgett (19.0, previously 18.8), Gunnedah Soil Conservation (18.8, previously 18.6) and Miles (20 rounded, previously 18.9). There is a probable record at Canberra, which has come in with 15 rounded (previously 14.7). There has also been heavy rain in much of inland NSW and southern Queensland, with Enngonia (which also took a hammering in March, as I recall) getting the top fall of 87mm. (This all brings back memories of many a May in the 1980s - we used to go from Canberra to the Gold Coast for the May school holidays, as they then were, and out of five trips I can only recall two where we didn't have to change our plans because of flooding somewhere along our intended route).

I don't know where in Sydney this occurred, what type of instruments were used, or what the observation day was (it pre-dates the existence of the current site on Observatory Hill or any official authority responsible for meteorological observations). The journal was that of H.E.Russell, who was the head of NSW's meteorological organisation (whose name I have forgotten) in the 1880's, so I'm inclined to give the report at least some credence, especially as it's in the middle of a section of the journal where he questions the observation standards of many other so-called observations (I think I'd be sceptical if I saw reports of 1.8 C from Grafton in February, too). Will keep you posted if I find any more info. It would seem to give an indication of what is possible under the right conditions, although the occurrence of daily rainfalls in the 700-850mm range both north (Dorrigo, 1954) and south (Dapto, 1984) of Sydney - and of 500+ totals in relatively flat areas of the Hunter Valley in 1893 - should already give some indication of that. (I was somewhat amused in the latter case to see a reference to the Royal Commission into the Hunter floods of 1893 - I wouldn't have thought the services of a Royal Commissioner were required to determine that severe flooding was the likely consequence of such a rainfall).

The low will then move eastwards on Saturday as a new high moves into the Bight. Cloud will continue to increase in the north and east today with patchy rain developing especially near the border, then extending southwards over eastern districts tonight. In the south the fine mild weather will continue today with light winds. Rain areas will gradually extend over the state on Thursday with heavy falls possible later, more particularly on the northern slopes of the divide. The day will be cool with flukey winds tending southerly later in the west, then freshening. Friday will be cool to cold with the rain in the east, clearing but showers persisting across southern and mountain areas. A fresh to locally strong south to southwest wind is expected and may reach gale force about parts of the coast.

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Blair... There were two reported falls in excess of 500 mm in the Sydney region in the 1840s. Both were reported from the South Head site which was next to the lighthouse. Russel makes other references to them in his large book on "Climate of NSW" (1877) of which I have a copy and I know there is a copy in the BOM library in Melbourne. On page 13 there is an extract from the meteorological journal of the observer at the South Head Meteorological Station, as it was called. his name was J.F.Peacock and he wrote to the Governor of the day with details of the gale as well as rain. His journal shows that to 3 pm on tuesday 15 October 1844, 3.48 inches fell followed by 5.40 inches in the 2 hours to 5 pm and 1.36 inches between 5 & 6.30. Between 6.30 and 9 pm1.53 inches fell, between 9 & 10.30 another 2.68 and between then and 7 am the next morning another 5.96 inches. On page 14 there is a detailed description of the weather which is interesting - gales, thunder, lightning then a SW gale and torrents of rain in the afternoon. It makes good reading. In other + 500 mm fall was on 28 April 1841- 20.12 inches. In my column in Sydney's Daily Telegraph I referred to it recently. It appears to be slightly supported by the limited press reports at the time - the Sydney Morning Herald was published twice or three times per week and was mainly classified Adv - however, I have a photocopied report somewhere that, from memory mentions "rain heavier than in the momory of the oldest citizen" and the "road to the coast has been flooded near Rose Bay for some days". I intend to look through the papers of October 1844 when I get a chance.

Well I worked out a way and now have it here: http://www.australiasevereweather.com/observations/schofields.htm I would welcome feedback in terms of mistakes both in the photographs and spelling errors. I certainly like the idea of quality control but there is so much in this section I haven't got the time to read it all. I really encourage reading it as there are some days that you can feel the enthusiasm coming out in the reading.. You also will see the way my knowledge of the weather changes over the years such as learning the cloud types. I feel I am not writing the observations as detailed and accurate as I used to but not that much difference. The most important part is that you get a daily record of the weather and clouds around Sydney. This section will have some other features added to it in the not so distant future but the links won't change.

By just looking at the radar it seems that a good deal Victoria is receiving some rain at present; we can only hope that this continues. Rod Aikman, 42 Panton St, Golden Square, Bendigo, Vic Hey all Wohooo, getting very excited here, lol Looks like the low will form near Victoria with the BOM just issuing a delightful "Future Developments" for Victoria (read below). This system will hopefully give Victoria some much needed rain. Water storage is below 50% in Melbourne now. I will be tracking this system on my webpage at http://seaustraliasatpics.virtualave.net/ The url of the hourly updating satellite picture animation has changed and can be accessed at http://members.xoom.com/nsykes/animation.htm (it is linked from the main page) oh, got to love the "flukey winds" in the Future Developments, lol BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY VICTORIAN REGIONAL OFFICE Future Developments Issued at 1130 on Wednesday the 3rd of May 2000 A cold front crossing the Bight will combine with a low pressure trough moving south from New South Wales to produce a low pressure system over Victoria late Thursday and Friday. The low will then move eastwards on Saturday as a new high moves into the Bight. Cloud will continue to increase in the north and east today with patchy rain developing especially near the border, then extending southwards over eastern districts tonight. In the south the fine mild weather will continue today with light winds. Rain areas will gradually extend over the state on Thursday with heavy falls possible later, more particularly on the northern slopes of the divide. The day will be cool with flukey winds tending southerly later in the west, then freshening. Friday will be cool to cold with the rain in the east, clearing but showers persisting across southern and mountain areas. A fresh to locally strong south to southwest wind is expected and may reach gale force about parts of the coast. Showers in the south will gradually contract to coastal areas on Saturday and the weather will be fine in the north. Conditions will continue to be cool with south to southwesterly winds moderating. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Ben Quinn" To: Subject: aus-wx: Erosion Pictures Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 22:46:51 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi Everyone, I didn't get a chance to post these to the list yesterday as my ISP went down - but i went up the coast and photographed the erosion and wild weather.. i havn't had time to do up a report, so i have just uploaded some pictures for people to look at - very nasty erosion on some of the open beaches.. I also drove up to Gympie today to check out the flooding in the Mary River (it peaked at just under 10m late this aftenoon) - i got quite a few good pictures.. with any luck i'll get the time to write up a report (including heaps of pictures) sometime tomorrow Erosion at Cotton Tree beach (near Mooroochydore - which you can see on Brisbane local scale radar) http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/02-05-2000/02-05-200007.jpg http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/02-05-2000/02-05-200019.jpg Heaps of froth stuff at Mooroochydore beach - this stuff was being blown full speed up the beach and over the road in 30-35 knot winds.. http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/02-05-2000/02-05-200009.jpg http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/02-05-2000/02-05-200010.jpg http://bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/02-05-2000/02-05-200011.jpg Petrie creek at Nambour had a nice fresh in it - and there was evidence of a much higher fresh overnight.. there were also a couple of side roads cut around Nambour..
