There are no official rain gauges close to Lysterfield (I've been trying to talk Snozz into installing one ) - my weather station at Ferntree Gully recorded 7.4mm on Sunday; Scoresby (an official BOM site) also 7.4mm; a private site at Upwey 7mm, one at Hallam in Fitzgerald Road 7.1 mm and one at Scoresby (private) only 3.3mm - the only other one at Rowville I can find didn't record any (have to presume his rain gauge isn;t working/recording).I guess that is a different situation as the track is on private land. The landowner and club can make whatever decision they feel is in their best interest as the track is not open to the public. I wouldn't have a problem racing on private tracks, it is that CTS was held on public tracks that are slowly getting built/repaired by volunteers. Tha said my drivetrain wouldnt appreciate it.
Does anyone know how much rain we got at CTS3?
So although it looked heavy, all surrounding areas seem to have received about 7mm between 9am Sunday and 9am Monday.
My data/station is always on line if you want to check it (including historic data) -
