November 2022 update SA *Forecast prepared between Nov 20th-22nd 2022 Review: G’Day everyone, quite late this time sorry but really hope you are all doing well and are no doubt flat chat trying to sort crops out In between all this rain despite a nice warm to hot period a couple of weeks ago, its been a tough month so far with numerous strong cut off lows with showers, thunderstorms and flooding on rinse and repeat. But there is some good news! Firstly though I’ll cover the more noteable events below briefly. Early November saw a barrage of very cold air on the 1st which drove squally showers, cold air thunder and numerous showers of small hail up from the deep south with a bitterly cold day. Rainfalls were already solid from the days prior, and rivers began to get quite swollen.

There certainly was some wild weather involved although fortunately the strong thunderstorms were mostly confined to the Lower and Upper North with some strong supercells. I went up for a look and managed to get very close to what was an attempted tornado just south of Mount Bryan. The storm also had numerous large funnels from near Spalding up to half an hour earlier. I am almost certain it may have touched down at some point. There was also a second one further south that hooked up near Auburn to Eudunda. If anyone has any photos or accounts from the day, please inform either Peter or Alex. I must say the crops looked pretty good through much of the areas that I travelled but the enormous amount of rain after must have taken some sort of toll, especially for thos
