Woomera Rain

[gidge348]

Just had a look at the radar for Woomera 10am WST 7/2/11.

Looks like a LOT of rain possibly tail end of Yasi. http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR272.loop.shtml#skip

Anybody know about local rain on the lake????

When I looked at the BOM it was only showing 10mm of rain at Woomera, that is certainly nothing to worry about.

If you look at this map http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/flood/ you will see some areas to the north west of Lake Gairdner have had between 10 - 25mm with only one area showing above 25mm.

Nonning has had a total of 27mm for February, mean temp of 34.1^ C
Woomera has had a total of 67mm for February, mean temp of 35^ C

Did you know the evaporation rate on Lake Gairdner can be 300mm per month?

Woomera lists the current evaporation for Feb at 76mm
lots of time to dry stuff out at that rate
