You gotta admit Melbourne weather was quite unpredictable today. I was sitting in Batman Park (I think that's what they call it) where the helipads are located. It was sunny, calm and warm, I was even handed a free ice-cream by Melbourne Trams who are doing major road works nearby.
Then I got up to go back and within 5 minutes it was p#ssing down, it came out of nowhere. I looked around and there were only a few largish cumulus clouds floating about like Zeppelins. I checked the BOM website and their rain radar only showed tiny spots of intense rain with lots of clear air, never seen this kind of phenomenon before, but this is Melbourne I guess.
Bad luck for the parachutists, I watch them regularly at Elwood and they are pretty good. Typical Herald Sun dribble, that's why I don't buy their newspaper.
