This minimum was incorrect (whilst it was around 13 in the early 
morning, it had been down to 11.8 by 1800 the previous evening, so
the minimum could not have been any higher than 11.8), and I notice
that it has been deleted from our database (or perhaps was never
recorded and the 0900 temperature got into the bulletin by mistake
instead of the minimum). Still a pretty mild night though.

Blair, Oenpelli's max for the 13th came in at 28.2, so no cigar. West
Roebuck's max on the same day came in at 30.1, but I suspect a 5
degree reading error, as Broome AP had 25, and West Roebuck (about
12km east of Broome town) and Broome AP are normally within a degree
of one another.

Blair, according to my (far from perfect) database, records were
broken for June maxima on the 12th at several locations in WA:

Pearce RAAF: 27.0 (previously 26.6)
Albany AP: 25.0 (previously 24.8)
Katanning PO: 23.2 (previously 22.6)
Lake Grace PO: 24.2 (previously 23.8)
Pingelly 23.5 (previously 23.4)
Wagin 23.5 (previously 23.2)

Pearce and Albany are rounded, so the jury is still out, but the
others seem real enough. All have 35 to 45 years computerised record
apart from Pingelly and Wagin which are about 25 years.

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

Seems this is all i do now - post coastal shower pictures to this list! but
hey, it's our off season... i guess i shouldn't be complaining too much...

Todays activity was a bit of a surprise - i spent most of the morning lazing
around at the beach taking pictures... some of the showers had some realy
nice 'curved' features - as you can see in the pictures below:

http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/ben/temp4/index.html

http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/ben/temp4/index2.html

This mornings soundings showed it was unstable below ~800mb - and the sky
showed it... a lot of the bases i saw had that slightly rippled look to
them... tomorrow and probably monday morning should be much the same (if not
better) as today...
