This appeared in the Border Mail this morning on the strength of the prospect of rain down here. Bill reported we got 5 ML over night!
I think someone has been funny and p****d in the rain gauge myself! He’s gone off on the bike dressed in wet weather gear (covered in paper wasp cacoons it hasn’t been used for so long) just in case.
The forecast down here is for ’some showers’ for the next 3 days.
The Politicians will start talking now that the drought is over again….just watch!

In our corner of Western Australia, we are thankful to be getting above average rains, something we haven’t seen in over two years. Everyone should have smiles on their faces.
G’day Jenny,
It’s now 4 days on. Has your part of the world (Nth Vic & Southern NSW) had useful rain?
How about you Eve - any rain in your part of WA?
So far we have had nothing for the month of June. They say we could get some tonight.
I have been waiting for rain to report something positive!!! for this Albury/Wodonga area.
We’re had a few scud showers over the past week for a total of a few ml.
The bottom line is it isn’t happening for us and doesn’t look as if it will.
The average ml for Albury is as follows
June 71+, July 84+, Aug 82+,Sep68+,Oct67, Nov57+,Dec52+ Total yearly 719.8 ml.
Tha Japanese forecast (Weekly Times PagePage 9) is for us to get rain this month (17 days left!!!)and not much till October and then summer rains!!!…that bring up the weeds and nothing much else.
Pleased to hear of some rains elsewhere for some people though! Jen
