Hail
Reports |
|
|
~
Thu 11th received brief pea sized hail ~1915. This come from a storm to our N
which bought my auntie more hail than |
us but of a similar size - she is located
~1km to my N. |
|
|
~
Fri 12th saw a day punctuated with regular storm activity which produced
brief but gusty winds & heavy precipitation. |
A cell ~1330 brought small hail according
to my dad. |

~
Placed new Rain Gauge (TB3) outside for the first time on the 25th. Rainfall
totals produced so far match my Nylex |
which is great, though my only issue so
far is with the vastly diferent rainfall rates I have been recording
literally from |
one minute to the next. This is possibly
due to the gauge not being exactly level but at this stage further
investigations |
will need to be done - along with properly
mounting the gauge & levelling correctly. |

Mon 8th I took another trip to Hunter Springs to collect data from Mrs
Wright. Whilst there also fixed her old dobbie |
min/max thermometer as best we could &
my dad gave the Stevenson Screen another coat of paint which seems to be |
holding up particularly well. With her
permission I have recently created a section on my website dedicated to
her |
quality observations - this will be added
to over the coming days & weeks. |
