Thanks for your informative video Phillip, Just wanted to know if there was any thunderstorm activity around. I’m really hanging out for a bit of thunder and lightning action LOL. Metservice says there is low – moderate risk – do you guys have any updates?
Thankyou muchly!

Hi there, looks as though a few thunderstorms are popping up – we’d agree that’s generally a low to moderate chance of thunder – perhaps closer to "low" for most people.
Higher chance tomorrow afternoon and evening for the Top Half, but again we’re only rating it as "moderate".
Cheers
Phil
