Exciting Event Today

I live in a dryish area of South Australia and we rarely get big rain events (400mm/year total if we are lucky). This morning we've had 12mm of steady rain so i got to see the rain gauge change scale from 0-10mm to 0-20mm!
It doesn't take much for me to get excited.

G'day fellow Aussie :)

You posted SA but your profile says WA. A town would help me ;)

We've been through your patch :)

Caravanning from Victor Harbor, Murray Bridge and stayed at Robe van park for a few nights.

No link to any weather website??? What’s the point of running a weather station if you don’t share it with the world?

WUnderground is the fall-back option. I'm sure CumulusX supports that. Heck, even Cumulus1 does. I also upload to these sites...

Or for me thinking that whether people would actually be interested in my weather website. But I had found out that people would keep coming back and a few would even let me know how much they appreciate the website. :)

Most of my visitors are local to me who have a genuine interest in weather. Plus I link to it in a flight sim forum and get visitors from all around the world. 129 countries to date and over 200,000 visits.

Thanks for the link. 👍 I’ve lived here since 74 but spent 2 years in Sydney as a Ten Pound Pom back in 1962-64.

I hope you weren’t born IN Old Trafford the football ground. :D As a Liverpool supporter I have to cross myself every time I drive past it! 😁

Ray,
Your weather station links are impressive, such a shame you really crap weather all the time though!
I'm a Ten Pound Pom also, emigrated to Adelaide in 1955(born in 1954) and have lived around Oz, moved back to South Aus on retirement 2 years ago. Living on 18 acres 23 kms from town. Yes I'm a United fan.

NavyGuy, it might be cloudy and damp but we don’t get wildfires so I’ll take U.K. weather every time. I lived 15 miles north of Sydney. Lovely climate but dad hated the humidity so hence our return to Britain.

I often wonder how my life would have turned out had I stayed. I’ll never know but I’m happy with my lot. Utd fan eh? They had their glory years, time for Liverpool now. 😉

I think there is a requirement for a pub here on the forum to chat away about anything but cumulus. :lol:
