krazykitkatOh, Pierre! I love you!
Tropical Cyclone Pierre has formed in the Coral Sea...giving me 6 for the season (which finishes at the end of May). Which is still lower than my forecasts, but only by 1-2. It's been a strangely slow few months cyclone-wise, not only in my region.
*
It's raining in the west of NSW. Best rain in about 7 years, best May rainfall in about 18 years. Tibooburra's had 65mm (~2.5 inches) in just over 24 hours, 4 times its average May rainfall. And it should reach Sydney late tonight.
Based on historical analysis of the ending of El Nino events, the drought should break by August.

And this was the Sydney Harbour Bridge this morning. (from SMH, more here)
My brother works quarantine at the airport and work was a nightmare with everyone arriving en masse after 25 flights were diverted earlier in the morning.
