How's Your Weather Today?

[John]

Beautiful Autumn here but clouds moving in and supposed to get rain by Thursday which certainly doesn't break my heart.

 

[Digger]

22C expected here today and it’s a nice mild morning at this early stage.

 

[Lancpudn]

8:00am and it's 12C dark dank & raining steadily. I don't think I'll need to water the plants today.

 

[Stuart]

Too good... I had to boot four 16 year old smart-arsed punks out of my hotel’s pool today & almost ended up in a street brawl with them... Bring on the rain!!!

 

[Digger]

Wot ‘e said!

 

[Digger]

17C and an 80% chance of 1 mm!

Why even bother raining if they can’t do better than that?

Considering the coverage area...1mm of rain would be a crapload if it fell in one spot.

20,931 square kilometres is the area of East Gippsland!

300mm is what is needed each day for the next 4 days, then we might be out of drought!

Starting anytime now would be good~

 

[Raiyn]

20,931 square kilometres is the area of East Gippsland!

Now drop the equivalent amount of water to cover 80% of that area 1mm deep on say the square km with your house dead center. Buncha water then eh?

Beautiful sunny day and perfect for Grouse hunting. A bit nippy up on the mountain but the fall colors were unbelievable.

I reckon 5 “ could fall and there wouldnt be any run-off, just soak right in!

Sometimes it feels like we get that amount per month here I mowed the lawns yesterday morning between the showers & my footprints are still in the lawns from walking on them yesterday sodden is the word

We got light rain again today with low grey cloud and a high of 15C. perfect Lancashire weather unless you like a suntan

 

[Digger]

Sigh~

16,744,800,000 liters of water (or 6698 Olympic sized swimming pools) does not just "soak right in"

80% of 20,931 km² is 16,744.8 km² and since it takes a million liters to cover a square kilometer 1mm deep*....
Oh, and it takes 2.5 megaliters of water to fill an Olympic swimming pool**.

** Based on a Olympic Pool design 25 m wide with a depth of 2.0 m at all parts of the course and 50 m in length.​

I brought out footnotes!

That’s cheating!

 

[Digger]

17C and that’s a nice temperature to get outside and work!

 

[Stuart]

We’re been getting some proper rain in Sydney for the last 24 hours... Hope it’s spreading out across the whole state & beyond (but not including Mrs Eggs walk-in wardrobe)

It passed by just to the north of us and all we got was enough moisture to mess up the windscreen and a dramatic temperature drop!

 

[Lancpudn]

It's another dark,dank dismal day here, a high of 14C and drizzling.

Ian, have I ever told you that we lived & worked in the U.K for a couple of years in the mid 90s?
