from today's Herald-Sun
More than 92mm of rain fell in the Thomson catchment and further run-off is expected in coming days.
The falls boosted Melbourne's water supplies, which rose 0.1 per cent in a day to 39.9 per cent capacity.
Melbourne Water spokesman Ben Pratt said the rainfall was welcome for Melbourne's parks and gardens and the city's catchments.
"The catchments started to dry out a couple of weeks ago," he said.
"The falls in the Thomson catchment are the most since July and it is certainly welcome as we head towards summer."
He said Melbourne's dams were still 60 billion litres lower than this time last year.

LOL same here. I had an umbrella and still got drenched :wallywink. All the drains are flooded and overflowing in Carlton there's so much water.

I would have missed the rain completely except that the train I was on waited 100 meters from Caufield station for about 5 minutes. I missed my connecting tram because of it. Then, as I walked in the peeing (<-- what's this? this is not what I typed lol) down rain to the tram stop, I had to listen to the Connex guy telling the people waiting on the platform that there was a signal fault (again! always a signal fault when it rains) and no train could leave until the appropriate paper work had been filled in. WTF!!!! Thanks a lot Connex. I expect no less. lol.

They said lightning struck the signal box at Caulfield. I couldn't tell the difference from their normal service :lol.

1st rainfall here today for past 7 weeks and more to come 20+mm bring it on :pray :clapping

We've had more than enough rain up here. Finally they've reduced our water restrictions from Level 6 to 0 till the Hinze dam stops overflowing. All this rain is making it very hard for hubby to get any work done. Bring on the sun. 8)

u serious 6 to zero ???
Whats the weather like up there end June, heading to Sydney for the Tigers game then heading up there for a week, will see the storm at skilled (Robina) also.
Bring my togs or not ;D
-
Yeah our dam is over 100% and just overflowing so the powers that be have relaxed our restrictions until the dam levels fall under the 100%. We had a "wet weekend" the Australia Day long weekend, where we could wash our cars, boats, houses etc and actually put the beach showers back on.
Re swimming in June - depends on how you like cold water. Not as cold as down south of course. I personally find it too cold then - wouldn't swim until Sept or Oct. We generally have about one really cold week in winter (lowest day time temperature is 15 degrees but can get quite cold at night)
