It seems there is a hint of thunderstorms beginning to be in the picture from the 22nd October over eastern NSW and lingering for some time. Obviously this depends on moisture availability. GFS has been very unreliable with predictions of moisture particularly inland around the Central West this season as with other seasons. The coastal areas are struggling with moisture but nowhere near as serious. This means Sydney and further north to the mid-north coast are in for a chance of storms over the coming days.
Meanwhile, bushfires continue to threaten communities over northern NSW and Queensland. I am certainly surprised to see Rockhampton during October getting serious fire behaviour. Personally, I have yet to see bushfires mentioned in the news so far north into the tropics. At least though the dust storms have eased for the time being.

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.

Not much to report in the rainfall stakes for Northeast NSW of late, and it’s much the same story for most of NSW and Queensland. Just 15mm here for September with less than 1mm the previous month and a dry July too. A big turn-around from 1350mm in the first half of the year.
The dust storm last week was pretty amazing and to get a second dose just 3 days later was extraordinary. The second storm hit NE NSW from mid afternoon Saturday 26th Sep and persisted the following day.
Hoping the patterns will change and some rain comes soon. Will be buying water for the household tanks again next week – seems such a waste of money after so much rain earlier in the year.
