The deluge continues. Yesterday, June 11, was pretty much a carbon copy of the day before (pingdong ending up with over 1000ml across the two days), while today the biggest falls seem to be in the north west (close to 300 at 6,30am), though the radar suggests the south west is about to get totally hammered with a large patch of intense rainfall showing up on the radar just off Tainan.
The rain band is travelling in a north easterly direction as per the monsoon flow and appears to be worst on the eastern edge of a front coming down from the north west.
55ml in XC on June 10, and 18ml on June 11. Lots of thunder and lightning about, though as usual, not happening right here. Have noticed that the thunder seems to come as extra long rumble - not sure why - could be just echoing down the the rift valley - but still seemed to be like that even when it was coming from the north east so may have something to do with being elongated cloud to cloud thunder. A lot of the thunder was rumbling on for 30 secs or more.
