Lightning briefly and record temperatures

Michael,

Record temperatures are likely over eastern Australia which gives rise to the real possibility of early heat this year as has occurred in 1995 and other times in the past.

Rainfall wise though – we have only had 3.4mm in the storm last week with a little lightning thrown in!
