I am camping at Proserpine show and it has been drizzling rain here since about 4pm. Not the best camping weather but at least it isn't very cold.

Thanks for that info Roxy. My son is camping there too with cattle for the show and I was wondering what it was like there(son doesn't return texts).
Drizzly rain here too since 5pm this arvo.

Hi nooty well I hope he has a tent. I am showing cattle with school kids but they only have their swags, so we have put up a tarp for them to camp under. It has eased off a bit now. Hoping for sunny weather tomorrow, hate packing up in the rain.

Hi Roxy, my son is with MCC and has no tent. Hope you're with his group! Looks like this pesky drizzly stuff might hang about for a bit longer yet. Hope you stay dry and if my son is in your group, I hope he's behaving.
Cheers

It was a damp drizzly night here in Prossie with just under 12mm. I live just around the corner from the showgrounds so I hope everyone camping there managed to find some cover and stay dry!

only 4.5mm here overnight from one passing shower.Just drizzle now.

Correction to above post,4.5mm from midnight,13.8 from 6.00 Pm to This morning.

Morning all, 14mm here for last 24 hours. Handy bit of rain for the garden, not very handy for leaving car window halfway down overnight.....doh!

13mm for the Tekowai place

The BOM's forecast of 18 to 21 for today looks like a bit of a FAIL, they must have forgotten to factor in the change we had yesterday, currently at 2am it is 14.3 in Mackay and 11.9 here.

For today, OCF is forecasting a max of 20 (I find it to always be high during similar events). GFS is forecasting only 13 for a maximum, while EC seems to be going for temps around 17 to 18.

GFS is just a tad off as well PVW, as it's 14.6 here at the moment.

I've had 15.8mm since the rain started & it's been a nice, soaking rain that the gardens are loving. So far MTD is 51mm & YTD 1658.5mm.

Was suprised there was no comment on this event lol

We joke about it each year but the rain couldn't have timed the Prossy show any better we still braved it and kids had a good time. I've recorded 14.8mm of nothing more than drizzle over the last 2 days.

Closing any weather station is not good for us weather watchers or for comparing the data with other stations and its own history. Hope they sort it out or convert to an automatic station.

Yayyy, our sun is now heading back to the southern hemisphere again so our days will start to get longer.

Offshore powerboat racing in Mackay was a mess. Freezing cold, slight mist and ocean rough was all big swells.

Bummer for them 2 years running

Cool, drizzly, bleak morning at work at North Gregory. Total of 27.5mm here since Thursday.

Drizzling and wet, most harvesting groups are now stopped. No sugarcane delivery for the next little while

Apparently fining up tomorrow??

Don't know about anyone else but the temp here has been rising all evening to new highs for the day. Currently 18.8C, 99%rh, and 5.6mm. Interesting weather atm I think!

Half listening (so don't quote me) to Livio tonight and thought he said it wasn't going to clear till Friday and something about a chance of rain.

Not enjoying this yucky weather! 22mm over the last 4 days.

Steady at 18.8C - very pleasant...for winter!

warm but too wet for me hasnt stopped precipitating since friday night
