Melbourne Hailstorm

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The Melbourne hailstorm does appear to be unprecedented for Victoria in delivering gorilla sized hailstones. Hailstones up to 10cm diameter were reported by a Bureau observer south east of the CBD. The damage to vehicle and roofs in some areas leaves no doubt there was massive hail. Most other suburbs along the storm track appear to be mainly golf ball size. The very heavy rain also caused widespread flash flooding.

The Early Warning Network provided hail warnings via SMS before this HP Supercell moved through the suburbs of Melbourne. Members of this service were able to reduce property losses and move their cars to shelter. Join now: http://www.ewn.com.au

Storms and showers for NE NSW and SE QLD

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

A sharp upper trough is expected to drop 500 hPa temps to -20 over the Northern Rivers this afternoon. It’s effects can already be seen with showers and storms just off the NSW coast.

There will be no capping so we may end up with clutter and showers through there are good chances of some hail about.

We really need the rain as the dry season has been ridiculously dry this year – well over 3 months of barely any rain.

Rain and storms Sydney October 2009

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Finally some significant rainfall across the Sydney region and south along the coast. Some heavy falls occurred in the parched South Coast where water restrictions are about to be issued.

The rain began overnight Friday as thunderstorms streamed in from the northwest. Some hailstorms amongst the many cells that developed and rapidly drifted towards the coast. Most of the more consistent rainfall however occurred on 3rd October. Models seem to indicate a wet pattern and relatively cooler weather at least for the first part of October.

Meanwhile, in contrast, bushfires and heat waves conditions persist in Queensland and parts of northern NSW.
