You guys up north are welcome to send some water down this way. We could certainly do with a decent drop!

We've had our first rain over here, not much, just enough to keep the dust down. Wild thunderstorms though, we've been called in a few times at work in the past couple of weeks.
Still warm, this weeks forecast is mirror image, sunny, 18-28 degree days.

Hope you Sydneysiders are prepared for some more rain this year: the BoM has just declared a La Niña watch

If any of you guys responded to my call to send some rain our way, thanks, your thoughts worked. We had 4.4mm yesterday, which is the largest single days rain in a month and fifth largest since Feb!

Mind you, the wind we had after probs undid all the good.

Still bone dry in Adelaide, my hills properties have rabbits ringbarking the young fruit trees, and chewing holes in the dripper systems, I’ve been repairing them weekly for the last couple of months.
