Runners are experts on the weather. Perhaps we should volunteer to be BOM weather predictors; although forecasts like “beautiful running weather” and “run your 80k in the first three days of the week, before the cold change arrives” might nonplus the average citizen. The BOM website is excellent; but I came across the “weather channel” website when searching for dam level data, something BOM doesn’t report..
Major city dam levels have been hardly affected by the rains this week and last. Thursdays reading had
BRISBANE: 18.4%
SYDNEY: 36.9%, but I heard in the news it is now up to 39.2%
CANBERRA: 30.1%
MELBOURNE: 28.5%
HOBART: 68.2%
ADELAIDE: 65.0%
PERTH: 20.5%
