yes, looking like an active week over eastern Australia with supercells/large hail likely. The season there is really coming to life!

clip of hail near Coffs Harbour Monday.

Bugger, my colleague is in China and I can't go anywhere for the moment. Would quite like to experience some of their storms, picking the right time to go is the problem.

Storms continue for SE Queensland, impressive webcam this evening from Mundoolun just inland from the Gold Coast.

It's sparking up quite well in Darwin at the mo too. Unusual to see good storms in both SE Queensland and Darwin at the same time in my opinion FWIW.

WOW!

Time lapse of a super cell on the Gold Coast yesterday.

Looks like an LP.

Observed sounding here from Brisbane last night showing a classic loaded gun set up.
You will never see a sounding like this from NZ, more like a Texas sounding!

Very nice, looks like the BSCH Cameras got it too: http://webcams.bsch.au.com/timelapse.ht ... m=st_lucia

Also of note: the storms coming off the Gold coast looks lovely tonight, sparking like mad!

Looks like another big day for convection there today and then the set up starts to fall apart.

There is another set up in the pipeline for later in the week but the jet stream dynamics don't look great.

Thought this story about the tornado north of Sydney on Monday might be of interest…

'Hornsby tornado: nothing mini about it' - Sydney Morning Herald

Also, the first news-video in this story has some great footage...

'More rain headed for Sydney after tornado" - 7-News

Note: Fast forward the second video 3:00 minutes for earlier coverage (labelled a 'mini-cyclone' then).

Thanks for the links Nev.

The tornado occurred with a moist SE flow so not a typical Sydney thunderstorm set up, where convection comes in from the west.

I see Adelaide hit 43.4C today, making it the 3rd hottest December day on record after 44.2C in 1904 and 43.9C in 1931. Melbourne also right up there with 39.9C today.
