Total storm in a tea cup again. Yeah we had alot of rain last night and a bit windy this morning but that's just a spot of bad weather- NOT a storm!!!

Same here partially blue sky here

Should probably be in the 'WOW' thread, but fits here just as well.

Sometimes rain radar only 'looks' like it's raining.

It's not rain, but billions of moths

Millions of bogong moths trigger rain warnings on weather maps

Millions of bogong moths currently migrating south to the Australian Alps for summer are appearing on weather radars, with the arrival of nightfall coinciding with a sudden burst of activity.

When I was travelling between Melbourne and Canberra back in 2007 I thought I would take the road via the highest town in Auz, can't remember what it's name was, however after multiple hours of driving through the bush got to a road closure with barricades up and a bit sign saying ' Road Closed Snow! ' I was stood there in disbelief I was in shorts Tee shirt and sandals. I don't think they would know what quantity of snow is required to close the road round by us

You defo get your fair share Mike ! Have you got much winds forecast for Sunday ?

 

[Quattromike]

People are saying high winds coming but I haven't seen any forecast. The news apparently telling people to only travel if absolutely necessary, I've got my alarm set for 5am because it's absolutely necessary for me to travel to Stirling tomorrow for a machine call out.

I’m going up on shed roof in the morning to put in a few more fixings if it’s not too frosty then , It’s absolutely necessary for me to travel to Strathconon to look at a job And then absolutely necessary to travel to the shop as advised by the government and stock up on 3 days worth of Guinness !

Have another look - that's not rain on the radar it's Moths

Not sure how accurate they are but one of the recording stations near here has had 113mm of rain in the last 24 hrs. Thats over 4 inches to the imperialists amongst you!

 

[Lancs Lad]

Bl**dy hell that was a rough night!!
Pretty breezy!
Seals in velux have gone and straight Westerly!
Another job to do.

Or 11.3cm to the youth, if they can discern the smaller marks.

Job jobbed. Tow path cleared. Next bits the fun bit.
