if you'd asked 2 days ago, it was still desperately dry, with a nasty looking bushfire burning to our north.
But Friday evening I heard distant thunder!!! it started to rain.Only lightly 4 millimetres in 24 hours..........but, pre-cip-i-tation HOORAYYYYY!!! It continues and from the look of the synoptic map it is our best chance of decent rain in the next 24 hours..PLEASE!!! Cyclone Beni is in a good position off the east coast to drive in some rain.

It's currently 17.5 degrees celsius (top temperature friday was 38.8 degrees C...phew!!)
89% humidity

oh gosh...it's such light drizzle, there is only a further .5 mm in the gauge...the drips on the skylight above me make it sound heavier
( my son's mate came here to record some of his songs yesterday and the drips got heavier and could be heard thru the mic just when he was recording...typical, I want a music room)
My hub visits the local weather site EVERY day. He LOVES it. My very own weather man...he's very accurate.
He has kept the rainfall figures for the 23 years we have lived here. It's a very interesting story. In 2002 we had 26inches of rain, sparse...our usual average is 40 inches.
So let it rain, let it rain
PS: last night he showed me footage of an electrical storm from sydneystormchasers.com he has saved. Lightening over Sydney. It was funny hearing the guys doing the filming getting so excited.We get excited too...I currently have a HUGE storm cloud as my background on the computer. Youngest son reckons it's scary looking.
"who cares what's the weather, as long as we're together..."
U said weather..I love it!!
PS: I'm awake at this hour because Bob Dylan is about to play 10 songs in a row on RAGE and I want to tape it.
Music and weather....ahhhhhhhhhhh
