Yes, I saw that too.
Hopefully the showers (if any) are convective and if someone is lucky to be under one, they get the 10mm or so.

Yeah wiper blades would be in a state of shock having to do some work

Near average temperature today. Near average dew point and relative humidity today. The temperature and relative humidity constantly rose and fell in the morning and afternoon. Winds today been mostly light E to NE after very steady SW winds early in the day.

There is a climate driver thread in general weather. But my view is it pertains to this thread as well. So good post 'Pete.'

Yes . I had noticed the stark contrast between the NH and SH. The NH Pacific temperature profile is amazing .Warm everywhere.

It will certainly be interesting this spring/ summer. A cooler SST usually implies less convection.

Will follow with interest. The continuing dry dew points are in line with this colder SST anomaly around Australia l suppose

Could this weaken our spring storm aeason as well?

I was going to go to Bribie today for a swim, but after looking at those temps, I may just eat lunch there!

Monday still looks like featuring coastal shower activity starting to spread along the central and northern NSW coast then into parts of coastal SE QLD later or early Tuesday..... before extending further north to the Wide Bay and Capricornia Coast on Tuesday where some moderate falls are possible (aided by an upper trough moving up from NSW).

The more numerous thunderstorm activity on Tuesday looks like it may be a bit inland of the coast as far as SE QLD goes.

I can't see any huge falls for SE QLD itself but some locations near the coastal fringe and islands may see a nice drop as well as those locations which manage to get lucky under a storm or heavier showers.

P.S. crikey, ACCESS-G's going to completely replace ACCESS-R (currently scheduled date is December) because it's going to run at the same resolution as R as part of its next upgrade (but since there’s a grace period before all ACCESS-R data is switched off, not all websites may display the new version straight away). So you'll probably notice finer resolution in the ACCESS-G maps in the 3-7 day forecast time period once that happens.

Also worth noting that the current version of ACCESS-R has had a long known tendency for coastal locking i.e. cuts back precip over land by an unrealistic amount at night while maintaining it over the water which results in unrealistically steep gradients in nocturnal precip between land and sea. The decrease in convective precip over land at night does happen to some extent in the real world but ACCESS-R is known for doing it too much. This problem has been completely eliminated in the current version of ACCESS-C.
As a sidenote, the ACCESS-GE ensemble as well as the ACCESS-C ensemble and the next upgrade to ACCESS-C is in the pipeline although I’m not sure if they'll be made public.
