I agree Farseer, there's some great info on BOM !
I was a bit disgruntled when they apparently closed down part of the monitoring station at Grove (our nearest). So no longer get things like soil temps etc (the 'agricultural bulletin' i think it was called). Still get general weather info though.
Mervi, although it FEELS like we have got negative rainfall
what that map is showing is not the actual amount of rainfall we've had, but rather the rainfall anomalies (for this year so far).
So we (in the dark orange) have had somewhere between 600 millimetres and 1000 millimetres LESS than the average figure for 1 Jan to mid July.
