I won't believed that it has rained until I see it in the rain guage. Also the BOM's definitin of rain is any drops falling from the sky. My definition is the creek rising.

If it rained from "Now till Xmas", you would have a few problems. Nev

OME, It's time you scraped the cobwebs out of the rain gauge.

Otherwise those rare drips won't make it to the bottom.

When your garden's Cactus it will be OK. Nev

You know it's dry when the weeds are dying. 

 

I know that Rain, Rain, go away is Top of the Pops down south, but I won't be singing it.

We are hoping for rain on Sunday. All is very dry, still watering the garden.

We had the tip of a cold front come through the State today, it was a real fizzer. The forecast was up to 6mm in Perth, but we only got a light shower, barely enough to wet the ground. The cold front dissipated rapidly into just low clouds, and only a few coastal areas got a couple of millimetres. A bit disappointing, and there's no sign of any decent cold front, for close on another fortnight.

The Biggest HIGH That I've ever registered on my Barometer is over New Zealand right now. 1041 mbs. These days, forecasts 2 weeks away are stretching it. Air Mass analysis is what's needed. Lots of water can only come from tropical maritime air.  You will never get much rain from way down south and the Polar regions are as dry as deserts.. Air masses are Modified by what they Pass over.  Nev
