Thread: The Weather Channel

For the first time in ages in my area of inner Melbourne their has been rain for several days. After coming into i think our 16th year of official drought, this rain is sorely needed. It's the kind of rain that hangs around for days, (what was once traditional for Melbourne), with some heavy falls but many light falls of rain enough to soak the ground and increase the ground water table which has lowered much over past 15+ years.
Still here in Victoria we need well above average rain falls each month for a year or so as reservoirs are only at 27 or 29 percent.

Temps are low as well, it is winter in Vic and it gets cold, around 15 celsius or so, however we have many days where their is cloud that looks like rain yet we here seem to miss out most times.

Not so much wet and cold, I don't like hot and humid which is what we have now and will have for the next three months.
