Looking better Bruce it must have been such a relief to see the rain..
I remember the hot summer of 1976 from June to the end of August without rain and when the rain came standing in the garden and letting it soak into my hair and skin
According to the radio this morning all the fires are at 'Advice' level and under control. There are now only 60 fires compared to 100+ before the rain.
However it is 30° today and 40° tomorrow and it will only take a bit of wind to push them back into life.
As I mentioned the rain was not enough to penetrate the ground very far according to Sydney Water the rain caused no inflows into the dams because the ground absorbed it all and while the rain was welcome unless we get follow up rains the drought continues.
BTW Dubbo and the central west had a dust storm a couple of days ago so the rain is not widespread.
Anyway when it cools late this afternoon I will get the mower out, This morning was spent setting up the generator because there is a power cut tomorrow while the energy company performs some maintenance.
