Hi All

My first time to post, I'm not so knowledgeable about the weather as 
some (I've been lurking) but I've been reading and observing as much 
as practical recently. This mailing list sure is a great source of 
info and I'd like to take the humble pleasure to thank everyone for 
the input.

I'll be returning to Adelaide pretty soon however right now I'm 
sitting in my apartment in Kokura which is located in the north of 
Kyushu, the southern largest isle of the Japanese archipelago.

As I type we are experiencing the north eastern drift of the rainy 
season frount which sets in for about one month every year at this 
time. The weather bureau keeps on putting out lightening warnings but 
I have yet to spot or hear a single bolt (this year). Right now 
though we are getting medium-heavy rain, I'd guess about 10mm/hr, 
nothing special though as this area gets around 2,000mm annual 
precipitation.

Ross

thanks Laurier.
this is interesting.a couple of years ago when i was in N QLD and at Mt 
Bellenden Kerr there were warnings for the hike to the summit about 
expecting any weather conditions and near freezing nights,so I was curious 
about the seemingly impossible chance of snow that far north in Aust.but 
this info. is great!! you have just done very well digging it up!
thanks.

G'day All,

Sounds like Ira is a happy little Vegemite! Had an
interesting morning yesterday with a single active
cell moving across the NW coast. The cell produced
some purple activity on the radar around Burnie and
some lightning around Devonport. The Bureau are
forecasting a possible storm today - seems to be
plenty of vertical movement, so fingers crossed!

Also worth mentioning here that the World Meteorological 
Organization's page (www.wmo.ch) has links to all national met. 
services with web pages (although the information available on
these pages varies wildly). Most have at least some info in English.

Noticed this one as well - tied in with the California heatwave
discussed elsewhere. It seems to have been reasonably well confined
to California - Phoenix only got to 43, which is only about 3-4 above
average for them. Also worth noting that, as in southern Australia,
although mean temperatures peak in mid- to late summer, extremes
peak a little earlier. The last two major heatwaves in that region,
1990 (50 in Phoenix) and 1994 (several state records broken and 53.3
in western Arizona), were both in late June/early July.

The Death Valley record is allegedly 56.7, but this is widely 
regarded as dodgy; somewhere in the 53-55 range is probably more
realistic.

What's your source for it being the highest temperature in the
world for 3 or 4 years? (The reason I ask is that the mean monthly
temperatures in much of the Sahara in July 1998 were significantly
above the already monumental averages, and the mean monthly max for
that month at In Salah, Algeria was about 49 - I don't have any 
daily data but would have thought that if the average was that high
then there's a fair chance it would have got above 52.2 on at
least one day during the month).

My brother in law was in California and then Las Vegas for the last week.
Says it was 105F when he arrived in California and then 113F in Las Vegas
itself.

Went for a walk at 11.30pm and it was still 105F in the centre of Vegas.

Yikes that's warm.

Blair, is any similar updating (backdating?) of data being done in
other states? Unfortunately, a spot check of BoM metadata on the net
(at ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon2/home/ncc/metadata) shows it hasn't been
updated since 1997 -- a pity, as it could be a useful communications
device to flag the progress of increased data availability for users. 

In looking around, however, I discovered an Australian station list
updated as at May 2000 -- useful for those that maintain their own
databases. It's at
ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon2/home/ncc/metadata/sitelists/stations.txt,
but be warned, it is ~2.5mb in size.

There's a major long-term project in progress here to back-process 
historical data, but this is very slow work (for a station that
goes back into the late 19th century, you're looking at probably
0.3 - 0.5 person-years per station); our original target was to do
50 stations by the end of 2001-02. I'm not sure when this data
will be released to the outside world. I'll be pleasantly surprised
if the entire backlog is cleared before I retire, and I'm 28 :-)

The WA data was done as part of a separate project (I think in
conjunction with their Department of Agriculture, but don't quote me)
and covers temperatures only. There are also small snippets lying
around elsewhere that aren't in the Bureau database, such as the
seven NSW stations that I did during my PhD work, and another small
set that was used in a frost study in the mid-1990s, which have
found their way onto my web pages.

Well, after Ira's excitement I was expecting big things from todays frontal
passage.

Alas, it was pretty much a bust.  I went south, the best stuff seemed to go
north.  Saw some good scud action, got hailed on, lots of wind, got a nice
shot of the frontal Cb about to hit the CBD, but the front itself was
nothing special and there was a rapid post frontal clearing.

We really need something to amplify at our longitude!

Waiting for the next front.........

There's currently a beautiful line of precipitation on the radar west
of Melbourne, stretching from west of Geelong to the Victorian 
border. It's a long time since I've seen anything as well-defined
as this one. It will be interesting to see what weather it produces.

No warnings (apart from coastal wind warnings) in effect as far as I
know.

Hi all,

Wow - what a lovely day, max of 26C (20C  at  8:30am), only needed a jumper
for the morning.  DP sat in the mid-high teens, and a beautiful NE'ly
breeze throughout the day, freshening slightly in the afternoon.  Not to
mention nice precipitating TCU to the WSW (visible from my exam room).

Brisbane AP, Brisbane and Amberly all recorded 26C, Gold Coast did the
best with 28C

There were a few Cb's about yesterday (again stopped from chasing due to
exam/study committments grrr), with some of the cells punching into the
40-100 range, not bad!!!

Currently it's 19.8C here, with a DP of about 17C.

Nice to see the following warning issued - not a very common occurence in 
this area this close to the Winter solstice!!

Today's soundings for Wagga certainly showed some good potential - but in 
mid-winter you don't expect to see to much develop away from the coast.

This would seem to be in relation to the northward extension of the nice 
line currently moving across Victoria.

Hi All,
       Peter here. Broadford received a short sharp hail shower, strong NW
wind for 10 mins, and  Lightning(Beautiful CC's) every3/5 secs for 10 mins.
The thunder was no less impressive, and unfortunately my vidcam battery was
flat:-(( It was too dark for any good still shots, and the line was moving
very quickly.
My 2 cents worth. Peter

There's currently a beautiful line of precipitation on the radar west
of Melbourne, stretching from west of Geelong to the Victorian
border. It's a long time since I've seen anything as well-defined
as this one. It will be interesting to see what weather it produces.

No warnings (apart from coastal wind warnings) in effect as far as I
know.

Hi all,

Canberra has had some short sharp showers over the last hour or so.

Had almost driven home when the rain started "bouncing" off the road
and bonnet of the car.... hmm - it was obviously no longer just water.

The pea size hail lasted 2 - 3 min and then was washed away in further rain.

The evening ahead looks interesting with the radar showing the NNW-
SSE aligned band thickening to the west and maintaining its organisation
(and hopefully intensity). And it is, of course, the continuation of the
system
that made Ira's day yesterday...

I will let you know if it gets real interesting...

Patrick

Hi Anthony, everyone..

I actually saw some messy anvils to the NW today - very messy though...

I could also see the Congestus Steve mentioned - looked quite nice from up
here - bit too far away for my digi cam though...

Wednesday 8:30pm

Some decent showers here in Blackheath. Temp is approaching 6.5 now and
wind is a bit more westerly than NW just now. Quite fresh too with gusts
at 35 klms.

Quite a few drops are quite large, looks like melted snow from higher
up.

HI,

Some nice heavy rain falling here, the type to fill up gutters. Radar
showing quite alot  around Yass. Could be interesting for Sydney/
Wollongong later.

No hail around Bathurst area.

The line of storms reached Canberra at about 2045 and lasted around 30min.

Some gusty winds and moderate rain for a while and a few seconds of small
hail.

Lightning was about 1stroke per 10 secs for a period of around 5 min at the
height of the storm. After a couple of false starts, ABC TV was off air for
about
10 min.

At 2115, we now have steady rain - haven't measured whats in the guage but
would estimate around 5-7mm.

A nice little storm for this time of year and I think only storm no 2 for
2000 so far
:-(

As David Carroll observed this could reach Wollongong/Sydney - although the
low DPs (around 7 or 8) aren't too favourable.

It will be interesting to see what tomorrow's front brings..

Dear all,

After my plea for the loan of an NTSC video player for Saturday
morning's meeting - which I have now found courtesy of our !new! 49th
ASWA Victoria member from the Mornington Peninsula, Simon;
after a bit more research, I now find (not being very up with this sort
of thing), that for Hamish Ramsay to be able to show his NTSC video of
the Oklahoma outbreak of May 3rd 1999) at the meeting, we also need a TV
that will receive an NTSC signal < ahem - my TV is just a **little** too
old >....so an update on the equipment situation as it is now follows:-

a) Simon will bring his NTSC video player
b) Hamish will bring his video of the May 3rd Oklahoma
outbreak,......but he'll just have to give a very animated talk (with
suitable tornado impersonations interspersed throughout <g> ) unless we
can find someone who...........
c) can bring an NTSC compatible TV (portable would be nice)!!!!!!!!!


HELP!!!!!


I hope this will be the last glitch.... 

please email me........ASAP if you can help out!

btw, while we're at this - will NTSC videos & TVs read PAL format?


Many thanks,


Jane

At 2115, we now have steady rain - haven't measured whats in the guage but
would estimate around 5-7mm.

A nice little storm for this time of year and I think only storm no 2 for
2000 so far
:-(

As David Carroll observed this could reach Wollongong/Sydney - although the
low DPs (around 7 or 8) aren't too favourable.

It will be interesting to see what tomorrow's front brings..

Patrick

The RTA recommends motorists switch their lights & wipers on & slow down

<DIV><FONT size=2>Well an interesting end to the evening. About 15 minutes ago 
we just were hit with very heavy rain and gusty winds. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It looks like there could be some good falls and maybe some 
thunder headed for Sydney metro this evening/ morning. The radar which hadn't 
updated since 9:40 recently updated and went from patchy rain to a line with 
yellow and green from Lithgow to Waterfall. It has continued to bucket down 
here. More to follow maybe....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey peoples,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was in Kyneton doing an audit today and was lucky 
enough to be in a tin-roofed building when things got interesting.&nbsp; Well 
let me start from the start.&nbsp; We got there at 8:30 this morning and 
visibilty was just 30m in the fog/Strato Cu which lasted until 1pm (it was 
pretty cold after leaving Melbourne in beautiful sunshine with some Accas and 
accompanying virga) .&nbsp; It finally cleared up and the sun came out for a 
while.&nbsp; The whole time I was inside trying to concentrate on my work but 
I'd been watching this system for a few days on the charts and was pretty 
interested in it.&nbsp; Anyway, at about 4:18pm the rain started and was heavy 
from the onset.&nbsp; Gusty winds accompained it and by 4:20pm it was 
hailing.&nbsp; I jumped up and went to the window to see hail between 0.3 and 
1.0cm falling pretty intensely.&nbsp; Two fairly close claps of thunder were 
heard in the next few minutes while the hail/rain eased.&nbsp; Winds (at a 
guess) got to about 25knts but all in all I think I missed the worst of 
it.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After looking at the radar tonight I thnk things 
may've been more interesting elsewhere in the state (further E) - especially 
where a cell formed ahead of the line and was then overtaken and embedded in the 
line somewhere down near Yea.&nbsp; I think the combination of outflow and 
inflow (outflow from the other cell) could've made things very 
interesting.&nbsp; I have relatives living in Yea so if anything interesting 
occurred in the area they will surely fill me in on the details.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think Melbourneites could see some more storms 
later tonight with a few cold air CB's entering the WNW of the state ATM and 
more storms forecast for later tomorrow afternoon/evening.&nbsp; Keep the eyes 
open!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Peter Matters - One of the evil laws of storm 
chasing is that when the battery isn't charged, the sky surely will be....these 
things can't be helped.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jane - Claire and&nbsp;I will be at the 
meeting...slightly hungover but depending on Tennis/Claire's work comittments 
means we may have to leave a little earlier.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ira - Once again congratulations - can't wait for 
the photo's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One more thing - this system has produced severe 
weather in four different states....this is pretty impressive considering it is 
a winter system (which are generally so tempremental that they peak in one state 
and dissipate before it reaches the next state).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh - one last thing - my uncle from Corowa (W of 
Albury) reported a fair few CC's but not much rain from up his way 
tonight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chris G.&nbsp;- got your message tonight once I was 
back in phone range - see ya saturday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That'll do me for now.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
