Australian Rainfall

Thanks bob, 1mm of rain in places and there's roads in shambles.

Yo, could not agree more, Bob

I am about to depart for 4 days in the Flinders Ra.

Used BoM site for rainfall, forecasts, temp expectations etc in the planning stages.

Before I leave at 8.00 am tomorrow, I will print the forecast for the district for the next 3 days. Even better that the normal car radio info - more detail than they give out, & guess where they get their info?

BTW, when Adelaide had its lightning storm on Tuesday night/wed. morning, I got up to have a stickybeak. Seeing I was awake, I logged on to BoM, printed off a colour radar map that showed the rainfall intensity in the area of interest in the Flinders. I will show it to the lads when we all meet in Clare on the way up there. Won't I be a smarty pants!

Cheers

Sure is a great site, and have used it lots in the past, but for the past few weeks been having trouble with this part of the site, thought it may have been something to do with the changes they have made to the menus. The url you gave gives me image of data week ending 23 April 2004, select longer gives data current month to date 1 June 2004, select longer again and the site hangs. select shorter from the url gives daily data for 28 may 2004. Hitting Refresh will usually cause the site to hang...

Anyone else having trouble with the site recently???
