This happened Friday night before 9.30pm reports the NZ Herald. But as of 8am NSW time Saturday I can not see reports of local rain at Whangarei by the NZ Metservice dot com. Can anybody point me to rain data from Whangarei from pm Saturday? Thanks.
SE Australia cold start to June
The ABC reports Adelaide CBD records coldest morning since 1944 as ice forms on River Torrens – I had been watching this cold spell for a few daze. Cooma Airport AWS 70217 has seen the coldest first 10 days of June (-3.24) since 2000 which averaged -3.81. I have not checked Canberra. The Minimum Temperature Outlook for June issued on 28 May predicts warm anomalies for June. The Minimum Temperature maps for 5th June shows the SE Australian cool patch and you can easily explore forward or back from there as the month progresses.
ABC reports experiences of Lake Conjola fires
At a time when the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements is sounding like a “festival of AGW/climate change” with BoM spokes talking up “dire” climate change – 
the ABC can not quote anybody that questions the wisdom of communities such as Lake Conjola.
I have not heard a word about decades of increasing south coast populations – increasing post WWII subdivision of “bush blocks” by Councils taking population into areas of elevated fire risk – increased areas of National Parks(NSW State) which were previously forests that were managed better and simultaneous decreased management of vegetation adding to fire risk. This Google map of Lake Conjola shows clearly the extent to which areas of housing abut hard up against fire prone native bush. Large map. 
Disasters waiting to happen with the clear warning of Tathra in March 2018 then the drought extends adding to fuel combustibility. If anybody knows of historic population trends for any south coast shires please post. I note too that housing blocks at Malua Bay south of Batemans Bay have been advertised on TV for months with forest pictured right near housing. I think I read where Minister Andrew Constance is from there. I hear nothing on TV news about reducing future fire risk or not rebuilding in danger.
May Outlooks hopeless BoM bungled disasters
All three Australian BoM May 2020 Climate Outlooks turned out to be useless – hopelessly wrong – obviously the “BoM hot-shot weather & climate Honchos” had not a clue about what was coming down the Australian region weather/climate pipeline for May 2020.
May rain Outlook prediction – note predicted wet southern WA turned out dry – note how predicted dry tropics turned out so exactly wet. Gotta love that BoM.
May Max temperature Outlook prediction – note predicted cool southern WA turned out the national patch of warm days – note the predicted HOT tropics turned out cool. Utterly uselss BoM did not have a clue.
May Min temperature Outlook prediction – Yikes scorching hot nights predicted near everywhere by the omnipotent BoM but reality tells of anomalously cold nights mostly everywhere.
Yet this last week BoM people will have been pontificating wisely at the laughable Royal Commission on the fires – I bet not a peep from anybody about this recent embarrassing BoM disaster.
