Hi Peoples,

I'm in Parkes (NSW) at the moment, and said rain band has just passed over
here.
No thunderstorms associated with it out here, just periods of moderate rain.
Oh well...................

Anthony,

Following up on my last mail (did it make it to the list? - I haven't
got it back myself but suspect that may be due to problems at my
end), I've dug up from the Bureau clippings files reports from two
Melbourne newspapers - what's your mailing address?

The more things change, the more they stay the same: one of the 
reports states 'Hundreds of householders fear there will be great
difficulty in obtaining labour, tiles and window glass to make
repairs' (at least then they had the excuse that the war had only
finished relatively recently).

Compared with 1999, there seem to have been many more injuries - not
surprising given that it was at 2.30 on New Year's afternoon and many
people were caught in the open at locations such as beaches and 
Randwick racecourse - but less property damage. (In particular, many
cars had fabric tops which would be far cheaper to repair or replace
than a metal top would be). The quoted million-pound figure for
damage (almost certainly an under-estimate) would equate to about
$45 million in 1999 dollars.

from Taree. Oxley island cut for 3 days as was Mitchells Island. Plenty
landslips, major one west of Gloucester on Nowendoc road. Power cut to old bar /
Mitchells Island for 12 hours, houses received moderate flood damage. Most
damage environmental.

Most rain fell at my place in the 24hr Period between 5pm Tuesday - 5pm
wednesday - 140.4mm (Record is over 200mm)

Morning  from the South

Total July rainfall to date: 204.00 mm
Average is 65mm (at Taree)

Total rain for this year to date : 1189.2mm

Months Total so far:

January   202.6

April          366.8
May       62.8
June      113.4
July (to date) 204.00

Question for Blair, Laurier, mark H or someone. What are Heat Degree Days / Cool
Degree Days? Also what is a  Heat base of 18.3 or Cool Base of 18.3?

Re: The 90 knot winds - there is a automated weather computer that the Qantas
Pilots use for Obs. that recorded the gust - I'm waiting for the printout of the
gust and confirmation. It also appears that the Qantas pilots reported the obs.
as part of their flight reports.

Top mean wind on the 0900 bulletin was 69 km/h (37 kts) at Maitland
(Yorke Peninsula). The rainfall bulletin has 72-hour obs on it -
highest 68mm at Parawa West.

Laurier's page indicates a 57-knot gust at Mt Lofty and 51 knots at
Snowtown.

60-70mm up til 9.00am in some perts of southern Fleurieu peninsula and
Kangaroo Id.  I've also heard report of rain induced landslides.  There was
a neat little storm with that front last night (I got a shot of a neat
anvil crawler) and several thousand homes were blacked out apparently.

The passage of a neat cold low developing and centred 
around the VIC/NSW border north of Bendigo at 0730UTC plus 
accompanying cold front will produce some big snowfalls 
tonight. This will add to already good snowfalls in the
last 36 hours being +30cm last night and about +10cm since 
9am today at Perisher Valley. Tonight's dump could be looking 
at +30cm also with the added benefit of being colder and dryer. 
These falls may also extend to the Central Tablelands earlier 
than previously expected which was Wed/Thu. It's about time
that winter has finally reinstated itself...

For those in Sydney, I would like you to take note of the following weatherwatch meeting. The ASWA members in Sydney are working in close association with the Weatherwatch group and had a good showing at the last meeting on the Sydney Hailstorm. Now here is your chance to meet Laurier Williams on the list. (Sorry Laurier)
AUSTRALIAN METEOROLOGICAL AND OCEANOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
A.M.0.S. SYDNEY CENTRE  WEATHERWATCH GROUP
NEWSLETTER              No.997  JULY 1999
The Next Meeting of the A.M.0.S. Weatherwatch Group will be held on WEDNESDAY 28TH of JULY 1999 at 730pm(19:30) in Room 143 of Building E5A at Macquarie University. Building E5A is on the left of Eastern Road, near carpark E3 or E4.
The Subject is "Weather and Snowfalls in the Mountains" and we have invited Mr. Laurier Williams to introduce the subject and begin the discussion. This will be an informal meeting with continuous refreshments, and members records, particularly of snow, low temperatures, or winter storms, are to be encouraged.
The Last Meeting of the Weatherwatch Group was held on 26th may, and our speaker was Mr. Rob. Webb from the Severe Weather Section of the Bureau of Meteorology. Rob gave us a very comprehensive study of thunderstorms, and the causes of the various 'severe weather' which can be associated with them, and the radar imaging in use. Rob concluded by answering a barrage of questions from the large, enthusiastic audience, and continued the discussion afterwards during the serving of the refreshments.
The A.M.0.S. Scientific Meeting on 30th June at the Bureau featured Mr. Michael Johnson from the E.P.A. speaking on Meteorological Measurement to support Air Quality Research particularly in the Western Sydney Basin, Badgery's Creek.
Future Weatherwatch Meetings will be held on September 29 and November 24 and maybe December and members are welcome to bring their observations and records of Thunderstorms and plans for Storm Spotting, Storm Chasing, and Analysis of Results. If you want to know more about Weatherwatch, Meetings, or the interests of the Group, Please Phone one of the following on the Committee :
Roger Nurse, Convenor, (02) 9449.1473 Alan Williams, Committee, (02) 9488.9975 Paul Graham, Committee, (02) 9888.2527
visitors are very welcome, but please remember parking in the University Grounds requires a permit, or the paying of money to a nearby parking meter (pay and display) $1.00 per hour (max $4.00 up to midnight). The meter displays the allotted time on its screen as you pay, and issues a ticket which clearly shows the expiry time and the date. The ticket must show clearly inside your windscreen on the drivers side.
Finally, we look forward to seeing you at the Weatherwatch Meeting on Wednesday 28th July. Please bring your ideas to this meeting for future Weatherwatch Meetings, especially for 29th September, and 24th November 1999.

Mark,

Generally the trees/buildings in the alps are more used to winds of this
speed when compared to trees/buildings down here.   Although - last August
I went to Mt Baw Baw for a weekend and when we got there on the friday
night a gale warning was current and by the next morning 1 in every 3 trees
had been snapped off at half trunk level.  I'm talking serious trees here. 
The largest was about 1ft in diameter.  I guess the wind would've got to
about 130km/h that night - we tried to walk in it but found it almost
impossible.

Macca.
