Yes Leighton, have noticed that too. Quite unusual.

Almost something you could expect lightning to come out of, but 500mb level looks like there is a fair amount of warming so might be some lower down instability? Would love some lightning though!

An isolated convergence maybe? could be southerly south of Templeton and NE over the city.
It still doesnt explain why something would develope so quickly and that intense without day time heating etc.

While the forum was offline I checked out other sites over the weekend. Are there only a handful of the same contributors on here? Just seems to lack any variety or new people whereas years ago there was always something new.Just wonder if it could get a facelift or be more welcoming for newbies? Cheers

But yes, great summers day. NE did cool things down in the afternoon a little. Should be nice again tomorrow, quite settled this week for most of the country. No storms in sight :(

Phil and Richard know the forum of course, I can't explain that one. Will ask Richard when I see him next, lol.

Ah yes, this has been a issue for a bit: Referenced Post, could you re-report it in that forum. Thanks.

It was fairly warm yesterday: 22.6°C here and 22.8°C @ Hamilton AP. A little cooler at Horsham Downs with a high of 21.2°C.
