Launceston weather for Saturday

[perfectionist]

A Few Showers. Mostly Cloudy. Cool. Breezy. 32 km/h WNW

Rain 3mm (42% chance) 82% humidity Min 5 Max 12

Perhaps a local authority can tell us if the wind will favour one end or the other.

Also, is there an umbrella policy?

I have sent some of the latest weather forecasting technology down to Launcestonsaint to use and provide feedback prior to Saturday's game. The technology is a rock on a piece of string.

If the rock is warm = Sunny
If the rock is cold = Tasmania
If the rock is wet = Rain
If the rock is swaying = Windy
If the rock is standing sideways = Hurricane

That's mighty ingenious. I'm sure your Southern Island Colleague would be proud of you!

I'm not a local authority but it would favour the outer side to the right hand side of the tv coverage. (coverage side wing to opposite forward pocket)
Yeah, there is an umbrella policy, don't bring them.

People wonder why he's been banned from entering the state & any mail he sends is dropped off into Bass Strait.
I hope Hurricane who posts here can explain why the rock is standing sideways?

Nah, it's not Min -2 Max 10 with rain developing about 1pm.

[saintspremiers]

11 degrees now for a max, not too bad for Tassie!

Looks like a lot of rain (50+ mills) for Strahan but about 15 mills for Inceston over this coming week, so the ground could be slippery.

15 mls in LAUNNIE won't affect Aurora much, it's one of the best drying grounds in the country.

Ive seen some phone camera footage of the storm during the Haw North game...now THATS rain!!

[Goose is king]

Launcestonsaint. I just PM'd you if you are still on

Yeah, read & replied.

Sounds like it's going to be a typical Launceston slog in the wet and windy conditions.

Do we really need to attend? These games are just a nuisance now,everyone is out to beat us. We can't gain anything from this match apart from unwanted injuries and sore bodies. Forfeit the game,no injuries,and the loss we had to have ...win/win.

Think about forfeiting the Essendon game too the week after. Then we'll come back from a break and beat the Roos and sharpen up our skills at the G the week after. Common sense managment is required from here on in

you hope it is not like it was when we played lions down there lightening hit the roof i know someone that was under the roof very close to that said it was scary

[Baldock Rules]

Looking at the positive side a hit out in the wind and rain against a good desperate side could be good practice for september.

You must live in Tasmania!!

Can you buy thermals in black white & red?

Thats high tech for Aurora isn't it?

I think their old siren was made by the same company.

I've been asked to ensure the quarters finish on time. I've rounded up the neighbours cats & will jump on their tails when given the signal.
Only joking for any cat lovers, no RSPCA visits please.

Playing when there is lightning around can be lethal.

Electrical engineering practice uses a rolling ball approach to determine if a point is safe.

Take an imaginary sphere with a 46 metre (150 foot) radius.
Roll it over the arena.
Wherever the sphere could make contact with a player is a place not protected from lightning.

So close in to the stands is safe.
But it is impossible to protect players with stands only when the gap between stands on opposite sides of the ground is greater than 92 metre.




Lightning creates an ionised path (from the cloud) for itself by ionising air in steps.
This is known as a stepped leader.
The final jump between the stepped leader and the ground is less than 46m.
The big lightning current then technically flows from ground to cloud.
But in practice it is the electron flow that comes from the cloud to ground.

{Before electricity was fully understood the direction of electrical current was based on the assumption of positive charge movement.
Electrons were later deemed to be negatively charged but found to be the main flow of electricity.
Hence electrical current normally flows in the opposite direction to electon flow.}

a car is a safe place to be in a lightening strike , been there done that

unless you are a hoon and you have your arm out the window

Also not very safe if you have a convertible with the roof down.
