Decided on the 28th April. Post here or PM me so I can get an idea of numbers and decide on location.

Must be insanely windy up there on Hammo Is.
Max gust here for the day was 56km/hr at 3:30pm with a cool maximum of just 24°C.
Ha, apparent temp of 9°C at Hamilton Is. wow!


Good choice of date Ree, was just going to post and say I'm away on the 5/6 May weekend. Assuming I don't end up having to work, i'll try to come along.

Sorry Ree, I can't make it that day. I will be at Conway Beach for a wedding that weekend.

Definitely want to be there, but can’t promise anything – though will try my best, so count me in Ree!

Another cool day here with a maximum of 24

Hi all. Gee there's been some very nice scud showers here this arvo/evening but have only recorded 8.8mm. The clouds are moving across the sky so fast the showers are over as quickly as they start. Been good to get them as it's been warm/dry for a week or two now really drying out the ground.

I'll try to make the meeting on 28th. Where are you having it Ree? I'd suggest Airlie lagoon but not sure if kids soccer in Mackay or Prossy on that day. Soccer is in Mackay on 21st, so could be in Prossy on 28th.

Gota go, footy's on, GO BRONCOS.

RR, you should be a happy camper! 30 to 6. Not a bad score.

Wind is still blowing like crazy here. Have had 2.1mm rain in the last few hours. Brings MTD to 15.1mm.

Played soccer last night in heavy showers and close to gale force winds at one stage, wasnt pretty.

I ended up with 14.4mm to midnight and another 2.2mm since then, on top of 8.4mm on Thursday, so we've had 25.6mm since these showers started. That's not bad hey!

Yeah, happy with Boncs win nthqlndr. GO THE COWS (and STORMS)!

Happy birthday ExVicStormGirl!!! Hope you're having a lovely day!

4.5 mm here overnight bringing MTD to a whopping 13.5mm

Overcast, cool and a little bit of misty rain this arvie.
Go Cowboys!!!

Heavy rain here on Hamo. Took me by surprise.

GFS is forecasting some a return to unstable conditions next Wednesday 25/4, with LI's around -2 to -3 and CAPE around 1000 j/kg. Isolated thunderstorms would have to be a possibility. A long way out and sure to change I know but something to watch in an otherwise boring and uneventful week locally.

A little line of showers out off the coast hey

Good to be back in the warm Whitsunday's.

Just got back from driving a car down to the Sunshine Coast for my son - Bruce Hwy is a disgrace - roadworks for 800k's of the 1011k journey with long delays every 20k's or so.

Weather was COLD & wet so it's good to be back into some humidity.

Hi guys haven't been on here much in the last couple of weeks because I haven't had anything exciting to report. It hasen't rained at our place for over 25 days now. Time to start watering the grass again. The meeting sounds like a good idea and will try to come along.

Looking like it's going to be cool in the morning!
Driving home from work just before there was quite a lot of patchy moderate fog around.
Car thermometer reported 20.0°C in Mackay when I left and fell to as low as 16.5°C on the way home.
