In the city of Azul, in the center of Buenos Aires Province, there was a downpour of 250 mm of rain in just 24 hours, whereas the normal for the whole of May in that location is 41 mm.
Some sources say the downpour was 250 mm in 1 hour, but I don't trust that. So far, the total precip for May is nearly 400 mm, 10 times the average, and the month hasn't finished yet! This comes after a severe drought the area suffered last summer (esp January).
Needless to say that this downpour caused the worst floods in 30 years in the area.
PS: I couldn't find sources in English to post here. They are mainly in Spanish.
Winter has well and truly arrived here. Minimums over the last three nights: -4, -2, -3 C.
But highs are still around 13-14 C with abundant sunshine (although the gloomy start to the month could make us end up below average) and only 8 mm rain MTD.
I will be very happy if winter continues like this.

today, another cloudy-rainy-foggy-humid day in BA, just like the last four days. Kinda coolish in the morning (13 celsius) and kinda warmish at night (above 16c).
Im ok with this gloomy conditions cause my plants are super happy when it rains and it rain more or less for the last 4 days so yay

If these eventuates there could some serious storm activity in Bass Strait. Will be interesting reading wind gust observations from Wilson's Promontory and islands out in the strait. I expect gusts in the range of 150-200km/h. Last year a 170km/h gust was recorded at a weather station in Bass Straight during a similar setup. Here it is, a winter month out in Bass Strait http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/20...8.201107.shtml
Incidentally, several days of sunshine are predicted afterwards with the high pressure stalling over Vic
another day exactly like the last 5 days: foggy/cloudy/humid/cool/kinda rainy.
Im briefly experiecing how would it be living in a super-cloudy kinda winter/autumn and, tbh, i dont think i would like it if we had a super cloudy winter. I mean, im liking it now cause i know it will be over soon, but looking at this grayness day after day is depressing!.
Thats why i dont like places in where pattern is "super sunny summer/super cloudy winter" GOD NO! Thankfully, Buenos Aires sunshine is even all year and even June (one of the coldest months) is the driest month of the year. Abundant sunshine is expected in all months, even winter months, so yay
And this morning Maquinchao, in central Patagonia, reaches for third consecutive morning the two digits below cero with -11.2ºC.
