Happy New Year everyone.
27mm in the gauge this morning, 124 in the last 4 days. The sun is out so far today. We ended with 3071.5mm for the year which is well up on the 2011-2022 average of about 2250mm.
Great falls on the Cassowary Coast again, I see another 413mm at Cowley Beach. The event seemed to be very coastal, Yarrabah received 276mm out of that blob yesterday morning.
Dec: 282.5mm
2025: 3071.5mm
2024: 3453mm
2023: 3334mm

Had a sunny day today and the burb is full of the sound of lawnmowers. After 5 weeks away the grass was in need of a little attention. Got rid of approximately eleventy billion grass seed heads

24mm in the gauge here this morning also from a heavy shower late yesterday arvo. Sunshine so far today. Looks like the T'ville areas turn last night with 200+ totals. Jan: 24mm YTD: 24mm Edit: Trivia- There are more official raingauges on Magnetic Island than in Cairns City. Edited by user Thursday, 1 January 2026 10:41:02 AM(UTC)

Happy New Year guys..!
I spent the day with the boy up the creek patching the pipe and regaining siphon for out water supply...was a 6.5 hour job and whilst in the gorges we got a hellish thunderstorm...thankfully no great river rise and hopefully we have fixed it properly...Dont want to do it again anytime soon..all itchy and cut up tonight from wait-a while and pandanus..
Hope things are getting better Bunyip..
and weary is the cat taking off a good thing or bad thing...?
Was supposed to get an ammo delivery from Townsville yesterday but its rescheduled to tomorrow because of the rain down there...man they have had a couple of good starts to the wet seasons down there this year and last...

SM I don't know how but we have had the same falls again :)
Just 16mm from that great storm yesterday arvo. I had spent the day doing house work and the sweat pouring out of me was insane.
But walls washed & floors done, ceiling fans cleaned ect ect 4 loads of washing ....
The lightning on the back of that storm was some of the best I've watched in ages, a real light show, would of been good an hour
or 2 later in the dark, but still mighty impressive.
Thanks Scott , on the improve... Bit fancy getting ammo deliveries mate, I've got to roll my own or go shopping lol :)
Well forecast looks good with rain every day for the next week or so,
Cheers

A nice coincidence there Bunyip. Hopefully a lot more of the same in the next few days.
The GFS has a low or cyclone in the Coral Sea next week. Could be interesting.
Jan: 40mm
YTD: 40mm
