Percipitation

Nope , nothing here , drat !!!

We got just over a inch in heavy rain last night. Humidity about 120% all day- yuk! But the garden is looking very happy!

Hi Debbie, an inch offer night, that's goood. we have only had, 6mL, 6.5mL, 3mL and about 12ml today so far. I hope we all get more rain to help the farmers.

I've been looking at real-estate, and weather, in Robertson all week during those long hot days. Now there's a place it really knows how to rain! Unfortunately I haven't been able to convince Trevor, who hates the cold, so I think we'll be in Parkes for a few years yet. But it's fun to dream!
And, yes, it was lovely rain!

We had some really good rain overnight and some this morning. The garden looks a lot fresher and all my roses are looking happy. So many buds ready to pop.

Are going to grow potatoes Debbie, as that is what Robertson was/is famous for ?

You bet! I'm a potato farmer's daughter - I remember 'helping' to wash spuds by jumping up and down on them in a big old bathtub of water, while Dad bagged them. I think I was about 5.

Finally Rain beautiful Rain!!!!!!

220mm in last couple of days.

That's getting a bit greedy Gary, we have only had 22mLs over four days.

48mm for us.
  

not even enough to brag about

The best thing was we had 40mm on Tuesday, it stopped while I played golf on Wednesday and then started again two minutes after we got to the bar at the golf club.

That is definitely working it right Gary. Pleasure then rain, well done.

I have just got off the phone to a friend that a weeks holiday on the NSW south coast at Culburra. He had 300ml overnight. He was in a camper van, not one leak.

Roseman, I bet your friend is a VERY HAPPY CAMPER!!!

Not sure how much rain we've had as I've been working in Sydney ... tipped out 6 inches this afternoon and out dam is full .... SO LOVELY to come home and find green grass ... and the roses sending out fresh shoots ... they're almost smiling!!!  

 

Show me photo's Wendy please I forget what it looks like. 

Looking good to settle the dust,

Just over 50mm here last night......  

Yeah, David. Let's just say the shorn sheep are glaring at me right now.
Eased off to drizzle now.

Nice to know what could be a week away, John.... I usually prefer it in 5-10mm bursts rather than 50mm ones!

38.5mm so far today. And just now it has decided to BUCKET DOWN. Complete with the odd flash of lightening.

My sheep are NOT AMUSED.

we have so far the wettest May on record for nine years so far.....

We have had the hottest May on record, with 20 consecutive days over 20 degrees (that's really hot for Melbourne in May, Neptune, before you start laughing hysterically). Getting some nice rain the last couple of days though. Which is nice, but is putting a bit of a dampener on my gardening plans (pun intended).

I just heard it has been the hottest May in Sydney since records have been kept. We have had 19 days in a row over 22 degrees.

so i can just see it, roses tootling along in this warm weather without a care in the world..., "aha they say" .. "think I might send out some new leaves and a couple of sumptious buds for the old gal that tends this garden"... then, bang,  with no warning, minus 5 overnight and all that energy invested by the rose will make for a feeble spring..
