Thread: Are you all ready for the next drought?

25mm in the rain gauge this morning, but then that's not unusual for the high points of the Adelaide Hills. I'd expect the rest of the agricultural district to get 5-15mm out of the front that just passed. Not exactly drought breaking but welcome none the less.

Excited with your news, I rushed out to check mt rain gauge.
0.25mm

Yes if you watch a jet overhead with a good pair of binoculars you can see this occurring.


Cheers, Mick.

You forgot to leave one of your best cars outside overnight to attract hailstorms. We just had 5mm worth drop the temperature by about 5 degrees. Got any irreplaceable vehicles you can offer to the storm gods? The farmers will thank you.

Why do some planes leave long trails, but others don't? - Contrail Science ? Contrail Science

Another 10mm and another spider this morning. (Possibly the same spider, I just threw him and the water as far as I could, and he may have come home again.)
