Muwahaha!!! Gotcha right MC Thomas! Spoilt for ya Trav?

Beautiful day today, maybe I can live with that for a while. Please weather stay nice for rest of my final year of uni. So I can concentrate to win it!

Smoke smell again this arvo. Can't see where the smoke is comming from but definately in teh air.

7 day forecast again fails to interest me too much, again.

Looks like it going to be cold one tonight. Currently 19.8C and its first time to get below 20C before midnight. Looks like going to target 12C by the morning!

I wouldn't go into weather forecasting for a living MathewTownsend, we didn't even get anywhere near 12 overnight.

Morning all! The lovely overnight temps seem to have set in - 13.2c mins the last two mornings here - love it!

Off to Brissy this weekend to catch up with Dad and a few friends - will say hi to RWM for you all!

Tell him we miss his input RWMD. Take some warm clothes, you will need them.

Went for a blood test this morning, I didn't study much so not sure how well I did. But there was the remains of a fog still lingering along Ross River at 0745 this morning. My wife told me it took her nearly 40 minutes to get to work at the airport yesterday morning due to the fog at 3.30am.

16.8C minimum at my place last night and thats from my weather station.

12C - Really? Might happen around July but not yet.

morning all, too windy last night for the temp to get that low. but its not unusual for the temps to get in the low teens in may, often get the first real deep low over the tasman this time of year but some cold air northwards and drop our temps for a few days. just hasnt been that right set up yet!

looking further ahead, both the main models forecasting a fairly moderate rainfall event around the 22-24th May, as usual expect the 50mm+ rainfall totals to drop off as the week goes by, but the good news is that there are two models forecasting it. ext gfs even backs up with another one the following week.

15.6C was all we could manage here. Didn't notice it due to sleeping in. Need to get one of those old fashioned alarm clocks for my teenager - the ones that wake the whole suburb.

15.4C here as well, very close to Cranbrook's records. Yes the wind helped to let the temps stay above 15C most of the night, if not, then it would drop to 12C easily.

Beautiful day yet again, 27C max. That seem low for a while!

Went up to Mt Stuart this afternoon. Its VERY refreshingly cool up there! Must be around 18C at the time.

Great view of Townsville City, Castle Hill, Port of Townsville, Ross River and Magnetic Island.

What's you white balance set at Mathew? (tungsten) your photos seems to have a blue tinge through them... switch it to cloudy and leave it there.

Haven't really noticed the cool blue tinge mixed with blue skies and blue water....I changed it to cloudy. Next time it be set.

I think you must be colour blind matthew and I don't mean that in anyway except to state the obvious. Everyone of your photos has been so far out of wack by normal colour saturation standards that it seems that what you think is normal isn't actually what we normally see.

More smoke out my way this arvo. Not a smidgen of rain though.

yesterday there was a fire that was lit by kids at rasmussen and reports of another small one in the upper ross this afternoon. likely they are still smouldering SBT.
18C outside at the moment, certainly feels like the coldest night of the year so far, can feel the cold air creeping in through the windows and louvres. had to wear the jacket on my scooter both to and from work this evening. first time for the year.

Morning all! Another cool one here this morning - 10.7C @ 0500

Is it just me, or does life seem to get busier and busier every year?? I just don't feel like I have enough time for anything these days...

15.1C at my place. Not all that cold, nice and cool though.

GFS is giving us some amazing falls of rain next week, heavy rain for 3 days from the 22nd May.
a very deep onshore flow, more NE than E, dip in the bars right on the coastline and then a trough system moving in from the west to follow with more moderate rainfall. access not that interested now, but still maintains that deep onshore flow. while EC goes for more easterly onshore flow too.
cant imagine GFS forecast to come off, but would be nice to see a few rainy days in May.

Good oh Mick. I could do with 50 to 100mms but not getting too excited as they always roll back savagely on their predictions closer to the actual date.

Hello all havn't posted in a while. It was a bit chilly here this morning. got down to 6C this morning i was very very cold lol. Will the towers get any rain with that event or is it just costal.

well im waiting for gfs to back off massivly tonight or tomorrow. EC forecasting 10-20mm locally early next week. the BOM talking about the CS trough i mentioned this morning in the ext forecast.
hey chookie, you can have your single figure minimums!
