Hi All,

The continuing dry spell just west of Brisbane and trend towards
increasingly below average rainfall, which commenced in January, raises the
real prospect of likely winter drought.  Sliding 30 day average now down to
0.12mm per day.  Is this really La Nina?

John.

Hi all,

My dad pointed out to me that on the Foxtel radar imagery (supplied by
the BoM), it has 'unavailable due to union action' written over it.  I
checked the BoM site, and interestingly a quick scan of the QLD
forecasts, MSLA and radar revealed that they were all working normally
(actually, we got a 7am MSLA, I think that could be considered abnormal
with all the staff shortage messages lately?? )

Can anyone shed any light on this?

It is a matter of when. The same I suppose was happening to Wollongong when Sydney had received a lot of rain. Eventually they got a couple of flash flood events. Even during droughts, there have been just the odd month of significant weather. Oh well we will see what happens. To me it looks interesting in SE Qld at the moment with a dip in the NW cloud band and a deep high.

We could really use it. It seems that there has been plenty of rain around (literally) but not here. Currently the weather in SE QLD is classic Quidge. Strong (not quite howling) SE's, close to 100% cloud cover and of course, zero rain. I expect the coasts are getting light drizzle. With the drop in temps and humidity in the first week of April, we are now well underway towards the dry winter regime, so I suspect that significant falls now are unlikely until much later in the year. But here's hoping anyway. John. >snip In terms of La Nina, I think you will find that when you do get rain, it will be a significant amount John. It is a matter of when.

IDW10W00 BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY WESTERN AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL OFFICE PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ADVICE Issued at 12:10 pm WST on Tuesday, 25 April 2000 People living in coastal parts of the Lower West District, including the localities of Mandurah and the Perth Metropolitan area, and in the far western parts of the Southern Coastal District, including Albany, are advised that there is a risk of severe thunderstorms during this afternoon. Storms may be accompanied by hail, flash flooding and strong winds that could result in damage to property. The State Emergency Service advises that people should keep a lookout for thunderstorms and if storms approach secure loose items, move vehicles under cover, then stay indoors until the storms have passed. Driving conditions may be hazardous. The Thunderstorm Advice for the South West District has been cancelled. This Thunderstorm Advice will be updated at 3:00pm.

NOTICE OF APRIL SCIENTIFIC MEETING The next meeting of the AMOS Sydney Centre will be held on Wednesday 26 April, 2000 Venue: University of New South Wales School of Physics Room 27, Old Main Building Parking is available on campus (for a fee), but free parking on Barker St. is probably the best option The Old Main Building is opposite the Barker St. gate. Time: 7:30 p.m. for a 7:45 p.m. start. The program includes announcements, the current weather situation and forecasts for the week. The main seminar will be on "Applied Coastal Oceanographical and Meteorological Modelling in Australia and Asia", by Dr. Graeme Hubbert (full details on next page). News Items AMOS Council has decided that the 2001 AMOS Conference will be held in Darwin, and the 2002 Conference will be held in Perth (both in conjunction with other planned conferences). Council is researching the issue of accreditation, with the aim of introducing a special membership category for appropriately qualified AMOS members.Sydney AMOS Presentation Applied Coastal Oceanographical and Meteorological Modelling in Australia and Asia Graeme D. Hubbert Global Environmental Modelling Systems gdh at gems-aus.com Room 27, Old Main Building University of New South Wales Wednesday April 26 7:30 pm for a 7:45 pm start GEMS was formed seven years ago after I left the Bureau of Meteorology and in the first part of the presentation I will outline the range of consulting work carried out by GEMS. This will cover oceanographic areas such as coastal flood modelling from tropical cyclone storm surges, ocean current modelling for oil spill and search and rescue, coastal and estuarine modelling for coastal engineering projects. Meteorological areas covered will include mesoscale meteorological modelling for environmental studies and for marine activities such as yachting, with examples from previous America's Cup campaigns. The need to examine the relationship between the research world, in the areas of meteorology and oceanography, and the needs of the "real" world is extremely pertinent at the moment. This relationship is going to be up for public examination this year due to the advent of the Olympics. Never before in the history of these sciences has the world's attention on the ability of Australia to apply its knowledge of meteorology and oceanography to provide usable forecasts been so focused. This is a very important time for Australia to cement its reputation of excellence in these sciences. It is therefore critical that the best expertise from the research and the consulting worlds is drawn together to produce Australia's best effort. This issue will be discussed in more detail. Dinner The Committee will be dining with the Guest Speaker at the "Momma Teresa" Italian Restaurant (412 Anzac Parade, one block south of Barker St.; great pasta for around $10) from about 6.15 p.m. Members and their guests are welcome to join the Committee at the dinner. (Don't worry if you can't make it by 6.15: they can put a pasta in front of you in record time!) Please contact Secretary: Michael Box (02 93854545/fax 93856060) or email: mab at newt.phys.unsw.edu.au if you wish to attend the dinner so that a booking can be made. Some light refreshments will be available following the meeting. (There will be a $2 charge for non-AMOS members: students exempted.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Jimmy Deguara from Schofields, Sydney President of Australian Severe Weather Association Inc.
