Melbourne Thunder Days since 1972
This information is compiled by
Dane Newman of Sandringham, Victoria and
are personal observations. The observations are not official. Dane
counts a thunderday as at least two distinctive rumbles of thunder
between midnight one day and midnight the next. There have been a few
occasions were storms going late in the evening on one day have
continued on past midnight into the next day and therefore the one storm
has been credited for two thunderdays. Dane does often verify
information from other associates in Melbourne and does cross-check with
the BOM if he needs supporting data. The information will be updated
monthly, thanks go to Dane for his years of dedication and vigilance!
The BOM also publishes
Average Annual Thunder Days.
