Don't know if you looked at the radar last night, but it's almost unbelievable that we didn't get anything out of that. Seemed to be a huge rain band (dropped 200ml in the north) closing in on us. However, there must be a stream of dry air that runs down the south east coast and somehow it never made it across. Have noticed this phenomenon a few times before.

Whatever, today looks more promising with a blob coming up from the south from the passing low in the ppe - seems to get better access to us when it comes from that direction.

On a related matter, how many times this year have we seen that high sitting over the top of Taiwan blocking the lows from coming up this way? That high seems to be an immoveable thing this year.
