From
the Elder's Weather site...Here is a snapshot of our area's
'possible' predicted rainfall for 2009...looks like we could be in for a wet March but winter looks like remaining dry for yet another year.

This chart lists Jan's rainfall as 'above normal'.
Our average for Jan is 22mm...


The same site had this chart showing the next 28 days'
'possible' predicted rainfall.
Looks to me like the last few days of January could be quite soggy!

2008
I've already totalled up the rainfall for this year...
I really don't think it's going to rain tonight...Our total was 226.2mm
Our average is 364.6mm

My month by month rain chart...the dark columns show our average...the lighter ones what we got.
3 months above average and 3 months below 5mm...
Scarecrow, I can't find this facility on the Elders site? It is very interesting - can you point me in the right direction?
ReplyDeleteHi Cosmic
ReplyDeleteIf you click on that Elder's link in the post...and on that page type your postcode in the 'local weather box' in the top left hand corner.
That will give you your local forecast chart...below the seven day forecast there should be a link to '28-day rainfall forecast' and when you get to that there should be another link under that chart to the '12-month rainfall forecast.
At some stage you will probably get a 'disclaimer' page and have to agree to that before it will go further...I think that is to stop the poor farmers sueing (sp??) the weather people coz they keep getting it wrong!
If you get stuck email me.
