After the last couple of flops it looks like there might be another cyclone around very soon. Our monsoon weakened and we had a bit of respite from the rain. Now it's come back again. I'm now 66% above my January average rainfall with still a week and a half to go.

The low pressure system that's intensifying is to our west and most likely to miss us. It's expected to become a cyclone in the early hours of tomorrow (only a few hours away) and intensify very rapidly to category 3. Most likely heading south east with an off chance of going directly east (to us). Either way looks like it going to be very wet again.

The image is the weather bureau's prediction for Thursday (tomorrow). My place is roughly where the dashed line crosses the coast.
