| Extreme Rainfall | |||||||||
| ~ Record breaking rains were observed across selected parts of eastern NSW. Many coastal areas between Sydney & the | |||||||||
| hunter either received June records or were not far off. This extreme rainfall was caused by at least 4 intense East Coast | |||||||||
| Low (ECL) systems, which for June is well above average. The fact that these systems moved so close to the coast & | |||||||||
| impacted the coast so heavily made this event even more unique. | |||||||||
| One particular system actually crossed the coast just north of Newcastle in the early hours of the 9th. This system | |||||||||
| deepened rapidly on it's approach of the coast & became rain wrapped so it had the appearance of an eye on radar | |||||||||
| images. During the 8th it was also this system that produced extreme rainfall across the Hunter & later Central Coast. | |||||||||
| This was also the day the 'Pasha Bulker' ran aground on Nobby's beach. | |||||||||
| Barrington Tops Snowfalls | |||||||||
| ~ Snow fell on the BTs this month on at least 3 separate occasions that I have heard. On around the 8/9th falls were | |||||||||
| observed I believe to 10-15cm. Snow also fell above Murrurundi on a few occasions, as well as falling in the towns | |||||||||
| of Murrurundi & Moonan Flat - albeit only briefly. On two occasions I also heard that the snow level dropped to | |||||||||
| ~500m which is quite incredible! | |||||||||
| Instrument / Website Additions | |||||||||
| ~ I have recently purchased & installed a digital camera for use as a weather cam. The latest image can be seen on my | |||||||||
| website on the 'Weather Cam' page. This camera is set up to capture images every 5mins but upload to my site every | |||||||||
| 30mins. | |||||||||
| ~ On each of my images in my 'Photo Gallery' page, I have now added a small caption on the bottom of each image. | |||||||||
| This can be seen by clicking any of the thumbnail images. It is still also possible to see this caption when using | |||||||||
| internet explorer by placing your mouse pointer over a thumbnail image & holding still. | |||||||||
