Heres hoping

Currently there is a tropical low situated north of exmouth which is expected to turn into a cyclone. So far it has been a really weak cyclone season as has been the last 5 years. This year has been particlary bad with the lack of cyclonic activity being blamed for the dry conditions which have pushed temperatures up averiging in the mid 40s in many gascoyne and pilbara areas. Rains from these cyclones are relied upon to bring runoff rains to many inland areas for pastoralists and recreation. Here in Kalgoorlie lakes that I have swum in while others waterskied are bone dry (and they now also have mines on them but thats another story) Rowles lagoon is bone dry, one thing in the back of my mind was the last time it dried up was just before Cyclone Bobby which dumped over 300mm of rain to inland areas causing ponton creek to flow for its entire lenth and creating an inland sea at lake boondaroo
