| The report for Ballarat today says "risk of a shower developing later" Wouldn't "Chance of a shower developing later" be far more appropriate wording? I'm certainly hoping FOR more rain. At this time of year it is so welcome in the garden and in the bush. |

| I agree, they seem to cater for some city folk who couldn't care less about the gardens, bush or where their water comes from. It annoys me when they go on about it being a 'beautiful sunny day' when the dams are nearly empty and water restrictions are in force. |

| Yes we have the same trouble here, they can never get it right, the temps are often wrong, and the rain forcast is never right so they just say chance of a Thunderstorm or chance of a Shower.... Now they dont even say that..... Everything is so dry here the green grass we used to have is grey and every day ( energy permitting ) we rake up a couple of huge barrowloads of leaves from the gum trees and put it elsewhere for mulch then the winds come and blow it back again so we rake it up again. The trees are so stressed that they are sapping the energy from my garden beds.....A little rain would go down well here even if only to green the grass up again...... Cheers...MM. |
