From 15 June till 21 June 2021
Another storm front associated with an upper level trough just passed over south east Queensland this morning. These troughs aren’t shown on the surface pressure weather charts. The Bureau meteorologists commented in May on the ABC how unusual storms are for this time of year, but that they are not associated with the La Nina event which brought a wetter summer early this year. My own rainfall records at Wellington Point show that we have had over 900 mm so far this year till the end of May. That’s about 1/3 more than the 100 year average measured at Ormiston close to me. My records also show a trend to June being wetter on average, although that requires about 30 years of data to confirm and I only have 17 years so far!!
