| Rainfall for the 24 hours to 9am BoM |
Windy weather continues in Tasmania, with storm force winds recorded in exposed areas this evening as yet another cold front approached the island. Mt Wellington recorded frequent gusts above 110km/h, while the exposed automatic weather station on Keogh's Pimple in the Hartz Mountains inland from Geeveston recorded a peak gust of 135km/h.
It was an unusually warm day across NSW today, with temperatures 6 to 12 above average in all but the far southwest and northeast of the state. In the Snowy Mountains, galeforce winds accompanied temperatures 8° above normal, hastening the spring thaw which already has Dartmouth Dam and Hume Weir releasing spectacular flows down their spillways as they approach capacity.
