Hi everyone, hold onto your hats my family in both Mackay are preparing for the worst as they wait for the likelihood that ex-cyclone Owen reforming as it heads for south of Townsville today.....Halifax seems to be copping over 600 millimetres, see latest mapping forecast below. Gwynnie

Warren-Pat_01 · Guru

G'day Gwynnie,

Owen turned out to be the best type of cyclone giving all in the area some nice steady rain (in Townsville, we got 211mm); the Ingham area got a "bit more".

The only people who got into trouble (one drowning, two had "croc watchers") were those who ignored the warnings -

1. If it's flooded, forget it (attempting to drive through causeways, etc!

2. Stay out of flood waters & read the signs! But young fellows are invincible, especially with some booze & mates present! Was sad for the family.

Our morning here in Innsbruck Austria.

Snow has been falling since midnight giving the valley here a good coating of snow after the rain a couple days ago washed and melted th snow, up another 400 metres and above they have been getting regular snow falls?

As I write the snowing has turned to rain which will melt this snow down in the valley, yak the mess it leaves.

After breakfast we need to clear the drive best done before the snow packs down.

Enjoy. Ralph.

Great to hear from you again, it has been a while. The family said it was just as well it passed them by and the rain fell right where it was needed- Inland, everyone happy so I was told..... The weather here on KI is perfect averaging 25 degrees and sunny. Radar seems to be enjoying the cold and snowy conditions. beautiful photos so crisp and clear- beautiful Radar..... Have a great New Year's eve and stay inside safe and sound. Gwynnie

Andrews Farm, now 23deg. (SA)

The sky has been falling for a little while now, just enough to make all the dust form a layer of yuck on everything. also humid.

I am now going outside to see if I can count the drops before they evaporate..........

It is a pleasant change from the 42 and 44s we have been having.

Stay cool everybody

UPDATE.......

I have now lost count of the drops and believe this is what they call RAIN. Dont know how long its here for, but hopefully a while

Hi All, Although the 'heatwave' has moved further east, in its wake it has changed the all time temperatures records in South Australia since January 12th 1939. Gwynnie

Only 39C predicted for Dubbo today. Feels positively balmy.

biggles2 · Veteran Member

Boomi NSW .. Wed 13th Feb 2019

The drought continues here .. sweeping dust-storm 2 days ago dropped off 5 mls of rain .. Day-temps have been above 37c for the last 5 weeks with 39 yesterday and the same predicted for today. The top temp has been 44.1 and hopefully it doesn't head that way again this summer.

I can be comfortable with the dry heat, but the poor ol' farmers and growers are feeling the pinch.

The weather here at Taree is showers have set in and even down here we are feeling the effects of Cyclone Oma.

Cyclone Oma is now set to hit two states with Queensland and New South Wales set to feel the storm's wrath. The Bureau of Meteorology has issued its first Tropical Cyclone Advice as a huge stretch of coastline braces for the storm's impact.

The Tropical Cyclone Watch zone now currently extends from Bundaberg to Ballina, and includes Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. Gwynnie

It is expected to be mainly sunny on Easter Sunday and Monday

Starting to rain in broken hill.

Heard a horrendous noise last night, thought the roof was caving in.

Then somebody said that four letter word...... RAIN

And a good soaking rain at that.

Nice to see the dust has been washed off of everything, so refreshed

I hope it will be as wide spread as the BOM have forecast.

I know lots of places need rain but I hope for a reprieve (here in Toowoomba) on Saturday as our son is getting married and it is a garden wedding and photos etc. are to be outside. Plus the waiting area for the reception is also outside. The venue decorators will have there hands full if people (adults and children) are trying to get inside out of rain whilst they are trying to set up. Son has said photographer is working on a plan B though. Maybe I should add Bunnings umbrellas to my last minute shopping list. Haha. It will be a great day no matter what. I am so looking forward to it all. Cheers.
