Spring cold hitting Uruguay and Southern Brazil tomorrow. Over the highlands, temperature may fall below freezing this monday morning, which will be very bad for the farmers.
More heavy to torrential rain fell overnight/early this morning .
Arrived at work - in the CBD - in the midst of beautiful and lovely torrential downpours with 35mm falling to 9am this morning .
Lots of flooded roads and gutters - music to my ears and eyes
Ob. Hill has now recorded over 80% of its average Oct. rainfall - an vast improvement from the horror of last month to which I still have awful nightmares about...
Surprising to see many people rushing/running about without umbrellas - I always carry a umbrella in my bag because one can never trust Sydney's weather and I mean this in a good way
I overhead someone - surprise, surprise - he's a POM, moaning, weeping and whining about the rain, me and another mate who's an staunch supporter of the Oz farming community slammed him for his ridiculous comments and informed him if he had said that in a small country town, he would have been run out of town pronto.
I dislike whiny idiots who moan about the rain, it's not like it's rained a lot over the past three months
Had huge laughs watching people battle the strong southerly wind and rain with umbrellas being ripped apart .
Lawns very green now and air feeling "fresher" Gutters clean too
Unfortunately this is set to change from tomorrow to Monday with evil dry NW winds blowing - just what we don't need

This site is quite good since it map zoom into my region.
October is the second driest month of the year, but this one has been cloudy and rainy, the average is 35mm and we probably reached this.
Next days 10 days rainfall total will be concentrated here on the east coast and northwestern part of Bahia, most of the Northeast stay dry trough.
The dreariness continues here, with a weekend of steady constant rain -must have been some big totals in the hills, with plenty of trees coming down the river yesterday.
The lower South Island had maximums 12C warmer than here yesterday, with Milford Sound at 25C.
Talking with my Invercargill - based brother, he was talking about the upcoming "heatwave" so I looked at Metservice (Invercargill Weather - NZ Weather Forecast from MetService.com) and was surprised to see this (I don't recall seeing such an extended sunny and "warm" period forecast for Invercargill in October).
He also said its been much sunnier and less wetter than usual this year.
Normally a warm day is followed by cold and wet weather and the protracted period of dry weather continues - I was expecting this to end this month but apparently not - and only one month (January) has exceeded 100mm.
YTD rainfall stands at (approx) 646mm - 132mm of this falling in January alone and taking that month out, just 514mm have fallen over the remaining months - so goes to show how dry it has been.

A nice forecast. I remember 1991 as a spring that people in Invercargill raved about, but then there were snow flurries in town about a week before christmas, and quite a bit of sleet out at Oreti. I need to get back there for a visit, as I do like the city and area.
It's been the opposite here -quite wet, and possibly heading towards record low annual sunshine - could be 2200 hours this year, although some speculation that sunshine isn't recording properly. Sunshine is at 1769 hours ytd (-180 hours) and rainfall at 1485 mm ytd. The last month has been a drier though, with only 4 days over the last 4 weeks for 128mm. No heatwaves forecast for here, although a majority of days in the last month have reached 20C.

In addition to my previous post, I've looked up Invercargill's highest max. temp. for October via Cliflo and the current record is 25.7C set in 1942. Other years that broke the 25C mark were set in 1914, 1938, 1947, 1950, 1955 and in recent years - close to the 25C mark - October 1977 with 24.6C and 24.3C in 2000.

Snow flurries this late in spring?
