Over predicted again by the bureau. We were predicted to have 25-45mm in Adelaide with falls over 120mm in the hills. What a complete exaggeration. I have gauged 19mm total for three days and I live in the hills.
The bureau were quizzed about this yesterday and their excuse was a bit limp and shows that they still cannot really predict weather despite some very sophisticated tools.
I wonder how much rain fell in Victoria? Certainly not anything over 50mm according to the rain radar this morning.
The problem with this crying wolf is that eventually people will simply ignore the advice and that is what will lead to that one time when it actually does belt down and cause flash funding and death. In SA we have had several instances in recent years where this sort of thing was predicted and it did not eventuate.
