wingtipvortex Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Have a look at this for a Hobart forecast........ " Sunday 26 August Mostly cloudy. Showers with possible hail, easing to isolated showers around midday, clearing later in the evening. Showers falling as snow to as low as 200 metres at first before gradually retreating to higher levels during the day. The chance of thunderstorms in the south early in the morning. Winds westerly 40 to 60 km/h turning northwesterly 25 to 35 km/h in the late evening " What was it the other night, 20.2 and no heater. Not tonight I assure you:lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Tales Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 allways thought we didnt need sun protection before 9am, but check-out just how early we are subject to extreme UV in your state http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/uv/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robm Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 In for some fun times in the next 24 hrs. Cyclone Dylan looking to cross the coast tomorrow morning at 7am about 50km south of our place. Got all the outside stuff packed away or tied down, food, water ,radio etc, so ready to sit back and watch the storm roll in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toads Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 40+ temps for me for the rest of the week. Not a good week to be on call:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedrok Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 All flights out of Mackay cancelled, so looks like I'm stuck dog sitting all weekend and next week. Stupid hurricanes. Bunker down FNQ. Sent from iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Getting pretty blowy here now, only 40mm of rain so far, but latest forecast track is for it to hit about 100km south of us now. Actually a bit disappointed as it would have been interesting to experience a low category cyclone going over the top of us! Anyway, will see what the early hours of tomorrow morning bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairground Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ive endured a fair few cyclones having lived in Cairns aprox 35yrs. I didnt think they were much fun, but my cousins liked them cause it was the only time decent surf waves could occur inside the reef :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Bit of a fizzer for us actually. Some good winds through the night, plenty of leaves and a few branches around the yard. But the system crossed a fair bit to the south of us, and looks to be sucking all the rain away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Time for a bump of this thread. Amazing rainfall around Townsville at the moment. We will easily crack 500mm this arvo(yes, that is 1/2 a metre or 20 inches) over the last 3 days. Forecast is for another 400mm and up to 1m of rain in isolated areas over the next week. Road is cut north and south of Townsville and we are just loving this. Its been a good 8 or 9 years since we had a monsoon dump rain like this. The dam is going to spill over this arvo which is great as last year it got down to 13%. So may as well make the most of it and get out amongst it! Most of our yard is underwater but house and shed will be fine. Sent from my ALP-L29 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Alex, how are you hanging in there in West End? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 This morning was crazy. We had 125mm in just over 1 hour. This was on top of saturated and full creeks and rivers. Now over 1.3m of rain in 5 days. We had water 10mm from coming in downstairs. Roads cut between us and town as well as south of us. Army are forcing some evacuations in some suburbs of Townsville as the dam gates will probably be fully open tonight so levels are likely to rise even more. Dam is currently at 243% and still rising.

Michi Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Are your machines safe? Any news from Alex? I saw in the news that West End might be one of the suburbs that could be inundated with the dam opening. Michi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodolddays Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hope all works out OK Rob. Its going to be one hell of a cleanup once the rains stops in and around Townsville no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
