xenithAccidently clicked on 9 am weather bulletin page on the BOM site. Seems in the 24 hours prior to 9 am we'd had rain.
0.2 mm.
Someone spat in the direction of the rain guage? Is that even worth recording?
What I was looking for was their "media release" for May. Launceston recorded 5 mm of rain in May. Which is 0 inches according to Gussy and 0.2 inches according to Botty. I think I agree with Gussy.
(The total for the year is 53 mm and the "normal" is 148 mm)
So does this mean an unnaturally dry winter, to compensate for last year's rather wet winter? The Hydro (the power company) are muttering about a lack of water in their dams & it seems the coal-fireed back-up power station won't be economical when the gas pipeline from the mainland is connected. Can we forecast price rises for the near future?
