I was flying not far from Wangaratta during the early afternoon. All day the weather was absolutely crap east of the Hume. Cloud right down around the mountain tops, and was like that from early morning. It was thick and either dark grey or that purpleish colour associated with heavy rain.
The weather generally was weird. One minute in clear sunshine, although with thickish cloud above, nothing on our track, then within literaly 3 minutes the clouds formed up together, changed colour and let go torrential rain. Multiple diversions, diversion on diversions.
