Weather and Miscellanea Post No 88

Over the last couple of days (yesterday and today) there has been some rather interesting weather action in the form of thunderstorms, some of which were severe. These were caused largely because of low pressure troughs passing over NSW, creating an unstable atmosphere - as i speak now, the town of Captains flat is being hit by a nasty storm with moderate rainfall, with possible hail (A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for Large Hailstones).

Up North in the Coral Sea, A cyclone has formed. Tropical Cyclone Guba (a name given by Port Moresby Cyclone Warning Centre) formed on the 15th, and has been rather erratic and slow moving. It briefly reached severe intensity on the Friday, before ecountering some wind shear, which caused it to weaken. Cyclone Guba is a very small and compact storm, and is a cyclone as i speak.

Will post more later.
