Maybe create a new topic for Aussie?

I see there is a lot of lightning around NSW and Victoria at the moment.

Interesting reports of hailstones and thunderstorms in Queensland on the news tonight. I have noticed there have been alot of thunderstroms around the Brisbane area of late.

Severe storm season under way in SE Queensland. They have the jet stream across the area for the next couple on months which turns ordinary thunderstorms into severe thunderstorms.

The story made the BBC News. Not just large hail (up to tennis ball size), but also at least one tornado:

Skippy is not looking too happy in the first photo.

ABC News coverage of both the tornado and hailstorms. The video is good:

Amazing footage of the Sydney harbour storm, flags on the bridge show a fresh or strong NE wind feeding into the approaching storm, flags change NW/W with the arrival of the storm.

Quite a few all time records have been broken in the northern half of Queensland as very hot weather has developed. The temperature on Monday 26th November 2018 reached 42.6*C at Cairns Airport and 43.6*C at the nearby Racecourse site. Proserpine (a little further south, near Mackay) recorded a high of 44.9*C.

Still a bit of lightning activity now East of New South Wales. In the 6 PM news there was excessive flooding in Sydney as well as major power outages.
±100 mm rain was dumped over a 2 hour period.

Pity is wasn't dumped over the bush fires they are having up there in Queensland

Nice band of thunderstorms moving slowly ESE across the SE area of Australia at the moment, according to the Blitzortung. Hope not producing too many bushfires?

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Fri 14/12/2018 21:30

These thunderstorms produced an interesting thunderstorm over Sydney, as what was noted on the TVNZ 6pm news tonight.

When you are ready to, let me know if you'd like someone to share costs with. I'd bet Sig'd be keen too.

Are there any good weather forums still going in Australia? I went to weatherzone to have a read up on yesterdays supercells in NSW and it looked pretty dead.

Thanks for the links, Nev. There were certainly some sizeable hailstones observed in Sydney yesterday - some appear to have been close to tennis ball size. This one is not far away from this size:

Hailstones up to 8cm were recorded around Berowra in Sydney’s upper North Shore.

Interesting story here about why intense thunderstorms can look green…

I have read a tweet today that reports Alice Springs recording its highest ever temperature. BOM has a max of 45 for them today, but I presume this was yesterday.

Yes, Alice Springs Aero recorded its highest ever temp of 45.6C both yesterday and last Saturday (Dec 29), and 45C is also forecast for today. Its previous record was 45.2C on Jan 03, 1960 since records began there in 1941.

Note that an older Post Office site (1878-1953) recorded quite a few dodgy-looking higher temps prior to 1892, the highest being 47.5C in Dec 1891.

Pretty amazing for Alice Springs considering they are also at 545m above sea level.

47.0C at Yulara, Kulgera and Kintore as well.

Adelaide 42.3C
