Cairns with rivers rising, we have had the
Savannah way closed on Friday night for 24h due to rain so brace your selfs for the wet, here it is ..........

Yes - Power has been out and 79mm since 61m this morning and still it falls :-)
We had a wet October last year, so could be a
sign of things to come :-( It is a bit wet at my place 5 meters last year, 4Mtrs so far this year

Met Bureau said this morning that this is not the start of the wet season.
The monsoonal trough is still in the Northern Hemisphere & this is the result of a high pressure system to the south of
Cairns sending moist air onto the ranges. The high is also the reason for the strong winds warning & why nobody is going fishing.
I am no weather expert & I just hope I repeated that correctly.

Well I certainly got some of that wrong. Just had a look at the BOM site.
The high is definitely south of
Cairns. It's that far South it is off the coast of NSW
