YES!!!!! We had a ripper shower come over at 10:30 last night and dump 53.5mm on us . Our December total is now over 100mm. Absolutely fabulous, our dam is not quite full however the neighbours dam must be and is bywashing across the paddock so with any luck we’ll start bywashing soon too and pass on the joy. Power has also been out since about 11pm but oh well. Time to turn the gennie on soon.
Fantastic Lani. Sounds like most of the Downs has had over 100mm for this event. The farmers couldn't have had a better christmas present.
St Ruth statiom ended up on 267mm. That would have to be one of the higher 24hr rainfall totals ever recorded on the Downs. Quite the event.
Some very good high total rainfalls in many other places too as other have mentioned. All the way from The Wide Bay Region, some areas out West and down the coast into NSW.got some decent rain.
Other places also over the 200 mm.
Well a surprise 23mm last night brings the event total to 91mm here. Noice!
A respectable 20mm out here making 58mm total. Almost filled the water tanks, more would have been better, the next system later in the week looks like giving some more christmas cheer.
Another 6mm here. That's 30mm all up. The heavy falls I was expecting were pulled to the east to skirt Fraser overnight.
37.1mm event total for Salisbury....gauge was only around 11.0mm at 3p.m yesterday arvo, rain finally picked up nicely into the evening whilst I was at my work Xmas party, with a nicer total to read when I got home in the very early hours of this morning.

Cheers justme. I'm actually out at Raintree so the Pacific Haven Alert is probably closer to me. I know they seem to get a lot more rain in BH town than I do out here. I'll see if I can get bom to fix the local station though.

There should be storms develop again today on the MNC. They should favour the ranges and foothills/hinterland though, with a lesser chance about the coastal fringe.
Was a great day in Bello. Those storms just sat there right through the day. More of an onshore flow and the awesome uppers just left them glued to the hills and coast. Most bridges open again in Bellingen. Trees were left on the main bridge through town overnight but awesome early morning work got them cleared away.
Phantom - That dew point should be 20 deg C.
