I can guarentee that Greame or someone else in here will beat his max at some stage. Like Graeme, we had temps here last year well into the mid 40's. The northern suburbs of Adelaide reached 48c. (luckily its a bit cooler up here in the hills, so it hopefully won't be me that beats itdaj wrote:I think between Graeme in Victoria, Australia and 'bnwrx' in Colorado,USA none of us stand a chance!

I've wondered the same thing, actually - the number seems very high. That occurred during what I am told was one of the strongest thunderstorms seen in this area in recent memory. Unfortunately, I was out of town and missed it.Cold1, is your rain rate for real?!
Judging from the reports from family and neighbours, as well as the washouts in my driveway when I returned, I think it's possible that figure could be correct, although I have no way to know for certain. Prior to that storm, my record was 138.8 mm/hr, also recorded during a thunderstorm.
Yes, the joys of living in Canada.I am astounded by your Temperature ranges from a max of 32.2c to a min of -35c thats crazy
