Just to let everyone know the official forecast for Sunday is either a dry thunderstorm (lots of lightning & no rain). Or a wet thunderstorm.

So basically.. you're saying the forecast is for a thunderstorm on Sunday.

However, the official Bureau of Meteorology forecast differs:

Saturday       Fine, Sunny                        Min 18    Max 38
Sunday       Fine, mostly sunny.               Min 18    Max 35
Monday       Possible afternoon or overnight shower.    Min 18    Max 34
Tuesday      Afternoon shower.                 Min 18    Max 31
Wednesday    Possible afternoon shower.        Min 18    Max 36
Thursday     Fine.                             Min 18    Max 37
Friday       Fine                              Min 18    Max 37

Canberras weather is fucked anyway, too damn hot!

Peaked at 1523 today with 40.0. Melbourne is copping it, got to 47.7 at Essendon Airport and 46.4 in the city. Parts of Sydney got to 40, Adelaide also got to 40.

Buzz Killington

Watching sunrise at the moment, and victoria has also copped some pretty serious bushfires, rivalling ash wednesday.

Snorzac

today we have hit 39.5, that was at 1432, I would expect it to reach 40 at least, maybe more, the last few days the temp hasn't peaked until 5pm we may break yesterday. 

Buzz Killington

39.7 @ 1437

Don't know about Belco/Civic/Gungahlin but we're getting a bit gusty down in Tuggers.


Buzz Killington

both City and Tuggeranong currently sitting at 39.9


Irisbus Rider

There's a storm heading towards the Canberra region ATM, should be a doosy :D

Bus 400

It is starting in Kambah ATM. Going by the radar, some pelting rain is due. Also the Cookatoos went silly 30 minutes before which is a good sign.

Snorzac



Irisbus Rider

It's finally hit Mitchell. Temps here have gone;
6pm - 25.1C
7pm - 25.6C

Irisbus Rider

Ha ha, 2CC suffered a serious case of 'Rainfade'. Oh well, out of my control really.

Buzz Killington

So it was the radio station. I was trying to listen to the football and I thought it was my stereo.

Bus 400

Kambah had a fair bit of lightning & good steady rain, still light showers now.

Yeah, sorry about that, but as long as all of the listeners think that, we'll be fine!

Excitments over for tonight, should see the odd bit of lightning and isolated showers until morning.

Bus 400

Up the top of Kambah East we picked up around 5cm in my old dog bowl

Bus 400

There is a fair bit of rain ATM & looks like it might keep going for another hour or so

Bus 400

Canberra Radar is out & has been since Friday

Rad D

Kambah has had 10mm, Isabell Plains 8.8mm, Airport 2.4mm.

However going by Country Energy Stormtracker (http://www.countryenergy.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/CEL/ce/others/weather/stormtracker2), it is a slow moving front that will last the next few hours

Busnerd

St George Leagues and half of carlton suffered a blackout last night, just as we finished our meals

Irisbus Rider

Ha ha ha. Generally speaking, you lot should really find somewhere else to eat.

Busnerd

No, its just sydneys power company is shit and whenever it rains something blows up.

St George Leagues is better than any establishment you go to

Buzz Killington

just got some fairly heavy rain down tuggers, and a bit of wind.

Sir Pompously

I was starting up a Dash 8 out on the Tarmac and it started to piss down and got drenched! The wind made one of our flights go around, and prevented a few from taking off!
