And we have had 0.6mm.
The radar shows a gap in the long line of storms.

Same. Off and on during the day periods of drizzle then bright sunshine for hours. Just a few km to the north of us storms thunder and heavy rain (aka BNE airport). Almost unbelievable that we escaped after seeing the radar early in the day.

Some storms brewing across SEQ this afternoon.

And the radar suggests we will just miss out on the heavy stuff threading the needle again.

Same here the gold coast is being smashed and looks like the airport is going to cop it shortly but bypassing our suburb

If windy tracking is accurate we will just get the edge..but a solid rain bank inland so we should get a drink overnight

Add...

The cluster south of us changed direction in last 15 mins and we are being lashed with rain and wind and some hail just 30secs after I moved the car under carport - phew

QF from CNS and POM went to ROK plus VA957 to OOL.

Another diversion is VA9948 from KUL that diverted to DRW, I guess it was going to operate direct back from maintenance but decision to stop in DRW for fuel due to all the weather.

BNE had two ground stops this afternoon, one currently ongoing. Some flights landed but then got stopped whilst taxing, ground staff not allowed outside with lightning nearby and they won't attach an airbridge without chocks. Arriving VA341 from MEL and NZ271 from WLG stuck for over 30 mins. Departing VA342 and QF633 also stuck on a taxi way for over 40 mins.
