Wow, Last night Jasper was very unorganised, and I wake up this morning, and it has an eye already :o
-
Some of you Aussies may have seen that low out in the coral sea. Just having a low on the charts now, BoM are predicting it to drop down to around 997hPa on Saturday, while slowly (Very slowly) moving towards the coast. The sea temps are nice and toasty, and I'm wondering whether to bother putting my pool cover back up.
Any predictions?
Cheers,
Dan <_<

Cheers things... just another request of you- I've been trying to find a link where I can listen to a local radio station online from say Mackay or Airlie Beach but have had no joy... I don't suppose you or anyone else on here has been able to find one because I think it does give a new and interesting perspective on the situation! Cheers,

Been searching for a little while, I can't seem to find any internet radio streams. I guess our best bet would be to keep an eye on the youtube updates. Maybe more people will start recording once it gets closer, I'm sure there's alot of people that want to see what this cyclone does, including me!

Indeed I was horribly wrong I'm afraid. The one straw of hope to clutch at for the central coast is that if its anything like Larry, the very worst of the winds will be on the right side of the track ie, the east out at sea- of course, its hardly going to be a pleasant tropical day on the coast and I wouldn't want to be sailing the Whitsundays this weekend! Would be good to see some videos of this as there weren't very many good ones of Larry that I could find, and the one I had was on the camera that got stolen!
p.s 295kph gusts? Ouch!

Going by the wind map it appears most of the wind is out on the sea side of the cyclone. There is about 10 video's of hamish on youtube right now, and there are 1-2 people updating every few hours on it. I am going to be following along, untill they loose power I guess
These guys for example, just behind Hayman Island

Wouldn't call that yet, BoM has forecast it to hit category 5 by 7am tommorow (Sunday) :o
This is one heck of a cyclone, now i'm glad it has passed me! :o
Well, it's now officially upgraded to category 5
:o 295km/h gusts near centre!
I'm sure NO ONE wants to be hit directly by this thing! :o

Still not quite up to legendary Larry statud, which almost blew me away!

An eye has appeared in satellite imagery and Hamish is now a 65kt, cat 1 (ss scale) cyclone. Rapid intensification continues, as shear remains low, waters warm and outflow excellent. Tracks have shifted slightly westward, landfall is predicted now to occur, between Bowen and Hayman Island. It's important not to focus on direct landfall as track can change and dangerous winds and rain extend out from the centre. JTWC expect a peak of 90kts prior to landfall. Dangerous storm this one.
Been watchin this since day 1, and only just realized we (Cairns) are now within the strong gale force wind boundary, forecast for around 1pm Saturday. Getting ready for this one now
-
Been having a few cool looking "storm fronts" (Mainly rain), coming from the monsoon trough nearby. They usually pop up at around 4pm in the afternoon. Haven't seen many of these in Cairns, but they are very long!
Weird shot with lighter clouds behind the dark ones.
EDIT: Found another one on the camera, a bit of a closeup of the one this afternoon
-
4 low in a week! This is crazy! :lol:
We're gettin a fair bit of rain here, not as bad as Ingham tho.
Last weekend it was very windy here in Redlynch, but it seems it was the only area in Cairns that was affected by the wind. You would have almost thought it was a mini cyclone!
I guess the mountains behind us had alot to do with it, ie, all the air rushing to the low (TC Ellie at the time)
Strangely enough, I find cyclones exciting
-
Uhh ohh, i'm in the firing line for "cyclone Charlotte" (If it actually comes to be a cyclone, its a tropical low as of this moment), as of 4pm EST of the 10th, its so far only classed as less than a category one, though it's been said that it should become a cyclone tommorow/Sunday some time.
BoM has said centre winds are around 45km/h, which isn't all that powerful, but it will be interesting to see what it does over the next few days.
-
Wow, a tornado?!?!
Crazy man, very nice pics! Some weird lookin clouds in the last report
Theres some lightning flashin around the skies as I type this, but the storms are dying down once they leave the ocean.
Looks like Sydney got smashed again today
-
Nice pics man!
Up here in Cairns we have had a few large storms pass over, but since I am relatively close to the oceans, the big ones seem to be dodging us. Townsville got a shocker storm I believe at around 6am on the 7th, ALOT of rain!
Keep em coming!
-
Added my location :lol:
I don't have any radar images from the storm (Unless I can find archives somehow ...), but there was 2 build ups on either side of us, and one of them decided to cross right over the top -- causing that strike in the 2nd picture.
-
Hi, new to the forum, and my first try at capturing some lightning! Since taking pictures of the lightning was practically impossible for me (Camera has to auto-focus before it takes the shot), I decided to just make a video and grab some stills out of them! Not the best, but I think they are alright for my first try
Looks like a really overcast day ... untill you look at the car window
Really close, that one!
:lol:
What Type Of Cloud Is This/how Are They Formed?

Some stormy and rainy weather around here, and I found these in the sky. I havent seen these in person before, so how are they formed and what are they called?
Cheers,
Dan :o
