I empty the gauge at 7 each morning. This mornings return was 151.5 mm. Darwin Airport was showing 196.4 at the same time. We're a little inland.

We got a couple more storms went through yesterday afternoon. A bit of wind, but not a lot of rain this time. I managed to get the lawn mowed before the rain though, so the back yard is now looking clean and green.

Please do.If we are going to get the humidity you guys have we should get the rain too.Been the most humid I can ever remember in the last 3 weeks.We don't seem to be getting "The Albany Doctor" either(a cold southerly wind that blows between 9pm and 3am in summer),guessing the very active tropics are blocking it at the moment.
The garden would love 50mm a few times over the next week if you could spare some

I've just instructed the Cook to get out there polish polish the Disco Andrew so more rain will soon be on the way.
But first she has to get my tucker going.....

Hopefully the low that has begun to drift down the coast will do the trick for you (with some help from Alan & his cook

). Everything is rather damp. Late this afternoon the relative humidity dropped below 90% for the first time in the last 48 hours.

I just looked at the Perth forecast for the next week. I rode the wet weather bike today because I was testing some wheels and a saddle. Looks like I'm riding it for the rest of the week and might be needing to break out my snorkel for going along the river on Thursday and Friday.

Hiopefully it means the end of these easterlies though and I can get some SW winds in the afternoon to push me down Roe Hwy.
