muggy, muggy,. Anyone noticed the circulation in the gulf????

Hi beachcomber, yes there is some nice rotation on the Mornington Island radar today and looks to be a bit off cairns

Hi Roxy I have been sitting back watching these forums since before cyclone uliu so i decided to sign up finally. Nice to meet you.

Very heavy shower in Prossie 25 mins ago.

I think ull be a great forum member.

Barometer down to 998.0 hpa. Whats the go with that. I would hate to be flying today.

I also have the same guage as you guys M66 & RR, will get Mr Wet-Ish to carry out modifications, thanks M66.

January has been a lovely month here with all tanks full and water to last for at least 6 months.

Rainfall into guage for January = 367.6 mm compared to 377.7mm measured by weather station. difference is probably an air bubble or overflow then.

Kicked off February with 6.5mm tipped out at 7am this morning.

currently sitting under a big grey cloud with some lovely towers looking N - NNW.

Its 30.9c 62% 1001.3hpa

Welcome to the forums Tornado Girl.

Its mangered to rain everyday this week. Poured abit around mid afternoon. Soooooo muggggggy though.

Starting to rain again.

Departed in a downpour at Mackay A.P. this morning, landed this evening in a heavy shower, I got drenched both times.

Just posted my January summary in the January thread if you're interested.

Had a nice shower this arvo for 9mm and a fresh cool breaze.

Welcome TG to the forum and a big welcome to February - definately my favourite month. My average rainfall at Mt Julain is 418mm and my maximum total 1102mm back in 2008. Minimum was 69.7mm in 2006. I predict (hope) 600mm+.

Thanks tornado girl, would like to do more but the weather is not cooperating . Extra keen now I have a new camera.

A few showers today 7.2mm, hopefully more tonight.

Hi Ree, I love taking photos of storms as well I was so dissapointed today, I went for a walk at town beach and seen a waterspout nearly extending down to the water, but i left the camera in the car and my mobile.

Heavy showers are falling again on the Whitsunday coast. By the looks of radar its going to a wet night ahead. Those Easterlys are feeding alot of mostuire onto the coast and its being enhanced by the close proxmity of the Conway Rangers.

Good morning all. Lovely to see Feb starting off with some of the wet stuff. 7.5mm from a bit of a shower yesterday round 5pm. Raining here now, I love waking up to rain! So far, 16.1mm since midnight. Hope it rains all day, at the very least. Rain rate is currently around 50mm per hour. Barometer 1001.5, humidity 90% (?) Temp not too bad, sensor is still MIA.

Have a great day everybody

Welcome to the forums tornado girl.

The forecast certainly look more promising than i was expecting and the current radar seems to back it up.

20.6mm so far overnight from frequent showers, not a bad start to Feb...

Was woken up to some heavy rain rain last and this morning but did not expect to find 47mma in the gauge. Was very surprised. My pressure is also down to 1000 which is the lowest I have seen it all year. By the looks of the radar I think everyone should get some good rain before the day is out.
