I had red mud on my car this morning. There must be a lot of dust still in the air.A little odd for Melbourne.

It's been the same here - the skies are really crap at the moment. I'm suffering withdrawals symptoms!

It's c**p here in Adelaide, too. Must be my fault as I bought a new camera and a scope!:sadeyes:

It's wet and windy out my way as well.

The weather station recorded 24mm overnight and 17mm of that was in one hour when a big electrical storm drifted over.

The outlook is for sunshine but I cant see much of that at the moment

We had 12mm rain over night no clouds in sight today but who can tell with dust haze along with smoke, hot strong wind from the NW. Not looking good here.

Hi All,:)

As I was returning from the shops about 8AM I noticed rain drops on the windscreen. A quick inspection confirmed that it was not sprinkler over spray.
Dust and rain? Must be that jjj and TheDecepticon with the new toys. Also who ever else has not owned up.

Cheers Marty

I owned up as well Marty (TV eyepiece, Orion guidescope package and Astronomik filter). So, it's all my fault!
