A bit of rain!
I doubt that it will cool things off very much, but I was so happy I almost added it to the log page I was transcribing

Stopped already although I still hear some thunder.

I think it cooled things off a tiny bit, but it may be my imagination.

Correction to the below post.
According to the BOM the actual highest pressure observed on Thursday was 1,043.9hPa at Ouse, which would be 0.5hPa below the record set in Launceston back in June 1967.

The BOM's still displayed incompatible pressure readings as of Friday afternoon.

In short:
The weather station at Sheffield in Tasmania reported a pressure of above 1044.3 hectopascals on Thursday morning. If confirmed it beats the previous Australian record from 1967.
It is contributing to extreme low overnight temperatures over south-east states and a lengthy stretch of showery days along the eastern seaboard.

What's next?The Bureau of Meteorology expects sea levels over south-east Australia will drop accordingly.
