Don't complain! We are just 3 hrs north of you and did not get a drop and are in a really bad draught.  Poor cattle trying to eat dead grass.  And the stupid weather bureau telling us we are going to get good rain. Yea right.  Kevin

Well we've managed a grand total of 13mm out of all this.
It's pretty depressing watching that rain disappear off the radar as it moves passed the northern suburbs of brissy. Then this morning seeing totals of over 100mm in Brisbane and hearing from friends on the coast and northern hinterland that they got falls over 30-40mm can be hard to swallow.
Everything is really struggling here, the grass has been dead for almost 3 months, I've had to buy water for our tanks, we had 2 gums give up the fight yesterday and drop some big branches beside the fence.

All of this is pretty depressing, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the BOM.
Or perhaps you're right, I mean those clowns have never accurately forecast a flood or a cyclone or catastrophic fire conditions or even a thunder storm have they... We should pull all of their funding right now! And while we're at it, those fools at the CSIRO have never given us anything good either, let's cut their funding and shut them down too....

Have faith mate, we will get our share of the rain soon enough. Actually I'd dare say we're only a month or so away from hearing about how there's too much water falling from the sky in some places. ;)

don't think anyone is complaining, pretty much everyone other then Southerners wants rain at the moment....loved getting the 70mm we got yesterday, even more so because it happened as I drove home from my camping holiday...lol

weatherzone forum said the Sunshine Coast was gunna miss out on yesterday's rain several days ago, the rain got further a North then was predicted as it was. The other lot of major rain supposed to hit SEQ is also gunna stay North of Fraser they said, so not looking good for Sunny Coast

Yep, I got excited at the first model runs a bit over a week ago, but every new run after that just got worse for us.
We had 3mm over night last night and the rest was from 2 or 3 showers through the morning.
And you can see it on the radar all still sitting up off the tip of Fraser, hasn't moved for many hours.

Current obs from my high tech weather station are (wets finger and sticks it in the air);
* rain gauge - empty
* atmospheric conditions - hot and sticky  ;D

We are going Camping tomorrow so I'm going to be selfish and hope Stradbroke Island misses any predicted rain for the next 9 days.

Well this morning kicked off with wonderful sunshine, then 15 mins worth of heavy rain, and that is it.
I have for years winged about everyone else getting rain but not us, well, I think the BOM found a way to shut me up for good....  ;D
Yep. I live in the red circle, we had a good dumping, followed by more sunshine.

Just had a shower come through Kawana. The best we've had in 3-4 months.
About 3-4mm ::)
