After another day in Victoria where temperatures across most of the state exceeded 40°C, it is timely to reflect on Australia's highest recorded temperatures.

Hi Ernest, thanks for the update. Was able to talk with my mother in Wacol and she is OK. Just some branches down. Poor Brisbane getting hit again.

Hi Hans How are things in the US.  The weather as you know has involved several super storm cells which are still continuing.  Brisbane and it's suburbs are fairing the worst. Reports of damage at Kelvin Grove in the first cell which hit yesterday (Saturday) morning. The local market was ripped apart all stalls were wrecked.  They also recorded the highest rain fall of 124mm to 9am. Wivenhoe Dam received 66mm to 9am then a further 12mm to 1pm today.

We have fairly well at Jimboomba, the major cells keep bypassing us.  We had 26mm of rain until 9am. We had one scare last night with a lightening strike close to the house. Inspected in daylight no damage done.  We are continuing with the thunder and short heavy showers.  There has been further storm warning for today possibly into the night.  We at Jimboomba hope that any further storm continue to pass us by.  Sorry I could not give you any dramatic news from here.

Hi Ernest, what's the latest with the Brisbane storms?  Heard three storms colliding. How wide was the path and where did it go? thanks

VERY heavy rainstorm here at Prestons (near Sydney) last evening. Our rain rate was a record at 411.4 mm/hr at 4:56 PM. The total rain in the hour was only 16.4mm, but during the downpour we could hardly see our neighbour's house about 20m away.
