Thanks Mate - two chase days coming, maybe just flash flood today (8/11) on Southern tablelands , but tomorrow may deliver out west around Parkes - over the long drives however.

Yeah sounds good mate. If we want to see storms around here we have to do long drives unfortunately

A really well constructed video Michael, and as always love the commentary. You got some nice bolts which I missed as well.

Learned that the Camcorder MTS files at 30fps do not mix well with the Nikon 60fps, when rendered video at 60FPS you would get flicker when video swapped cameras - got around it by adding 1 second long transitions. I like the ease of camcorder, but its had its days. May use the little micro 4/3 as a hand held back up as it does same FPS as Nikon

Looks like that time of year when things are hotting up in Oz whilst here in the UK it's that time of the year when things are cooling down. In average we're getting daily temps of 9-11c

We are struggling with drought through most of eastern Australia. You may notice how barren the fields look. Thankfully 30-34C is just normal for where we were chasing and not the dreaded 40C plus.

We have had 40c degree heat last year followed by freak thunderstorms. The day after the temperature dropped by 22c.

The humidity was terrible as the plume of air came from the Sahara desert. We kept all of our curtains closed, didn't go out much and fires kept breaking out.

Nice chase. Have you thought about doing storm chase Slow TV? I often watch real time dash cam videos to relax in the evening. It would be good to see some of the back roads you travel down, particularly the famous Painters Lane 😂

Good video, if the other days produced for you as well it could have been an epic trip. Did you get any video from the overnight storm near Goondiwindi?

Michael k was out on the overnight stuff. I had a back that almost crippled me. I may be Hip bursitis as its different to your ordinary bad back

@@ozthunder Hip bursitis is generally tender to press on the outside of your hip bone at groin level (greater trochanter), ultrasound is best test to check for it. Often doctors will request a x ray too - looking for arthritis.

Been a pretty boring season since what, April? Finally looks like November is starting to see some "good" convective activity. Hope for some good ones this Thursday in Sydney basin, but looks a bit messy for proper stuff.

The beginning kind of reminds of an invisible snow capped mountain. What are exactly are Dew Points? Can you feel them?

@ozthunder

8 ай бұрын

Dewpoints are a scientific way of saying humidity, but they help a chaser assess better the available moisture for storms. In simple and perhaps slightly unscientific terms a dewpoint is the temperature that if you reduce the real temperature to, the air becomes 100% saturated and you may get dew on surfaces. For example the day we were chasing had temperatures of 34C with dewpoints of around 14C (humidity around 30%), so to get 100% humidity you would need that 34C to be dropped to 14C. Higher dewpoints = more moisture for storms, but too high and you may get a cloud fest instead. Thanks for watching!

Dead right about dry, price for a dryline celll...lol. It last 2-3 hours before a short wave impacted and it rolled eastwards quick.

What exactly is a dryline cell and does your friend in this video have a KZread channel?

@ozthunder

8 ай бұрын

Storms love air mass boundaries. A dryline is where there is a sudden decrease in air moisture (humidity) and often an abrupt change in wind direction. The boundary often sparks storms.

There is a whole historic story regarding pear and that area. Absolute whole square kms of farms were overrun. Cactoblastus moth fixed that and unlike Cane Toad no downside. You should google some historic pictures of pear and darling Downs - scary
