Seems like rainfall rates along the QLD coast have been much heavier than the forecast. I will revise this forecast tonight. Stay safe, looks like a boatload of rainfall is inbound all. Cheers

That Low Pressure System you were talking about off the coast Of Queensland, I was checking the weather last night and I genuinely thought that was a Tropical Cyclone forming and it was going to go inland, but no its just going to bring good amounts Rainfall along the coast and possibly here which I'm excited about!

Will have to pack up some stuff in the yard, will take prob a full day. You think this couple of hundred mills in the townsville region will be followed by intensification into a cyclone? Just asking because currently got heaps of work to do. Thanks.

Just light sprinkles at this stage for Emerald. I find it hard to keep up with you mate. You would make an excellent race caller or Auctioneer. Grateful for any info about Emerald and Central Highlands. Cheers, Adrian

BOM have been completely off the mark for Cairns in the last week. They have forecast 1-5mm and we’ve had 150mm. Thunderstorm warnings after the thunder and lightning has passed. I think they are doing a heatwave warning everyday regardless of the weather.

Thanks Josh Gladdy up to 62mm in the last 5ish days, very little runoff so far. 100+ tonight will make things interesting to say the least
