De regen komt...

Dit weekend gaan we met de school van Vincent en Laura naar Rottnest Island. Maar uitgerekend dit weekend komt de eerste echte regen in bijna 11 maanden.... De Australiers zijn er erg enthousiast over aangezien het hier niet echt veel geregent heeft sinds Augustus vorig jaar. Wij zijn er iets minder enthousiast over.. maar goed de hersft begint nu dus echt....
Artikel in de krant (WA today): 

"Finally, after what may seem like an eternity for some, the lower western and south-western districts of Western Australia are getting ready for the best rain in almost a year. Tomorrow, showers and isolated storms will develop, but this will only be the birth pains. 

Early on Thursday morning a vigorous cold front is set to bring a gush of heavy showers, storms and potentially damaging wind gusts. Falls are set to exceed 40 millimetres on the coast and 30 millimetres over the adjacent inland. Coastal locations could experience some of their most saturated 24-hour periods since August of last year. The rain is also likely to reach as far inland as Southern Cross, with 20 millimetres a chance. This would be the best rainfall totals in 11 months."
