Extreme
Rainfall |
|
~
Record breaking rains were observed across selected parts of eastern NSW.
Many coastal areas between Sydney & the |
hunter either received June records or
were not far off. This extreme rainfall was caused by at least 4 intense East
Coast |
Low (ECL) systems, which for June is well
above average. The fact that these systems moved so close to the coast & |
impacted the coast so heavily made this
event even more unique. |
|
One particular system actually crossed the
coast just north of Newcastle in the early hours of the 9th. This system |
deepened rapidly on it's approach of the
coast & became rain wrapped so it had the appearance of an eye on radar |
images. During the 8th it was also this
system that produced extreme rainfall across the Hunter & later Central
Coast. |
This was also the day the 'Pasha Bulker'
ran aground on Nobby's beach. |

Barrington
Tops Snowfalls |
|
~
Snow fell on the BTs this month on at least 3 separate occasions that I have
heard. On around the 8/9th falls were |
observed I believe to 10-15cm. Snow also
fell above Murrurundi on a few occasions, as well as falling in the towns |
of Murrurundi & Moonan Flat - albeit
only briefly. On two occasions I also heard that the snow level dropped to |
~500m which is quite incredible! |

Instrument
/ Website Additions |
|
~
I have recently purchased & installed a digital camera for use as a
weather cam. The latest image can be seen on my |
website on the 'Weather Cam' page. This
camera is set up to capture images every 5mins but upload to my site every |
30mins. |
|
~
On each of my images in my 'Photo Gallery' page, I have now added a small
caption on the bottom of each image. |
This can be seen by clicking any of the
thumbnail images. It is still also possible to see this caption when using |
internet explorer by placing your mouse
pointer over a thumbnail image & holding still. |
