Skani Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I believe you people in Hobart had rain yesterday. We got nothing at all :cry: No smoke today and warm and sunny - getting a bit boring all this sunshine ............. desperate for rain. 7 mm in my rain gauge yesterday morning. :wubclub: Not a lot...but better than nothing. Some more forecast for later this week - I really hope it reaches you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Do you know there is smoke over Melbourne today, from the fires in Tasmania. It drifts a long way. I thought it would go up in the air but it gets blown across Bass Strait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 You can keep the tropical north.:smile: I'm with you on that! :laugh: If the climate gets any warmer down here I'm moving....to the far south of NZ...or possibly Scandinavia. :cute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would go up in the air but it gets blown across Bass Strait. Wow! Never would have thought it would reach Melbourne. It's clear of smoke here today and we had rain from 8:00 pm until round about midnight. Hopefully that will have helped put some fires out. Today is overcast and cool. Such a relief.

Skani Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Do you know there is smoke over Melbourne today, from the fires in Tasmania. I wondered if that might happen when the wind change shifted to the south. I think Melbourne had smoke for days after the 1967 fires in southern Tasmania.

JockinTas Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Rain is absolutely hammering down here in Devonport. Most of the north coast is catching it. Unfortunately on the west coast, where the fires are still burning - rain hasn't reached there yet. This is the best rainfall we've had in this area for months. Yaaay!

Bound4Tassie Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hope you're not flooded! Seen some photo s from an Ulverstone supermarket car park under LOTS of water! I think the whole town lost power too! Eek! 1 extreme to another! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole town lost power too! Eek! 1 extreme to another! We haven't lost power thank goodness not bad flooding either. The rain was torrential and huge puddles are everywhere especially in the grassy areas of the parks and as the ground was so dry and hard it wasn't soaking in. The sun is out now and it's warm so what with that and the water everywhere it's really humid. Yuck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I had 57 mm in my rain gauge over the last week. What amazes me is how quickly the totally brown grass around my place became totally green. :wubclub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JockinTas Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Saw some pictures of Devonport underwater!!! That was William Street and it lasted for about an hour until the council unblocked a drain. Nowhere else was affected with flooding in Devonport.

JockinTas Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Is the fire out yet ? Still burning in some parts of the west coast. That area didn't receive the rain we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Is the fire out yet ? "Fire"? You mean fires - there were 82 of them. About half are still going but have been slowed by the weather. But the areas which really needed the heavy rain didn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yes, and bet the farmers are happier now. And I'll have to get out with the whipper snipper as soon as it dries out enough. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby122 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I live on the west coast and this morning it is super smoky everywhere. In dire need of rain (never thought I'd be wishing for that, I spent all winter moaning about the rain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
