Q2 The date the first thunderstorm is recorded in Darwin --> 6th November --> 8 pts

Awesome job Things.
That is my one correct answer out of the way for the comp.

Oops - spotted a couple of errors on the info page/scoring system I forgot to amend when I changed a couple of the questions. The scores have not changed, but I've updated the info page. Didn't affect anyone but thought I'd be transparent about it

Cmon, let's answer some questions, hurry up wet season!

Looks like the monsoon trough is set to make an appearance on the synoptic charts over the cape by tomorrow afternoon. From what I can tell, tomorrow would be the official date of monsoon trough landfall if it's on the charts by tomorrow night

I think that will put most of us out by a fair margin

Average was the 6th of Jan, so yeah, it'll be interesting

YES !!! I had 18/12, so only one day off - bring it ON

And there we go..



Looks like this one threw almost everyone, with no one getting a perfect score. croccrew and Popeye now at the top of the list, and SimmoFNQ still holding his ground in the top 3

Early monsoon during a strong El-Nino season, hahahahaha, nobody would have picked that. And if the more reliable models are right then the N & C QLD should be in the firing line for it as well.

4 people were only off by a day, pretty good guess I think

I stand corrected. I know I wouldn't have picked a touchdown in December.

Neither, but I'm not complaining, bring on some interesting weather!

Meanwhile Port Hedland still remains dry, well past the average date now.

Q8 The date the monsoon arrives to the Australian mainland --> 20th March --> 0 pts

Sure you didn't pick the 20th dec?

Didn't think anyone noticed the typo...

Port Headland seemed to have a bit of radar activity tonight, was there any rain recorded?

Wouldn't appear so. Surprised it's taken this long too.

So, it appears Townsville officially recorded over 50mm on the 29th of Dec at 7:30am, finally some half decent rainfall for the area! That said there didn't appear to be a whole lot of movement on the leaderboard this round (except I'm not at the bottom anymore )

I have noticed there seems to be a bit of inconsistency with the rank change value, bear with me on that.

Cheers to Nerd65 for pointing it out to me, was a bit caught up with our own weather it'd seem

Well looks like port hedland will finally get that first 1mm this week. I wonder if anyone was close?
