A cluster of severe thunderstorms moved over parts of South Australia yesterday, bringing strong winds and heavy downpours. Initially, this tight cluster of storms skimmed the southern tip of the Lower Eyre Peninsula just before 11am, before passing directly over Kangaroo Island. As these storms moved in an easterly direction, the Yorke Peninsula came under fire, also spreading north to the Eastern Eyre Peninsula. Further into the afternoon, these storms moved over the Mt Lofty Ranges and the state's capital, before continuing to move east and north, spreading over the Upper South East, Mid North, Riverland and Murraylands. Impressive figures came out of the Eastern Eyre Peninsula where heavy downpours delivered almost 13mm within 10mm over Whyalla. Further east, Loxton did well, picking up 11mm within a similar time frame and going on to total 15.4mm to 9am, the heaviest January rain event since 2012. The City of Churches didn't miss out, collecting the most significant 24 hour total since September with 7.6mm falling in the bucket. Scotch College managed to come out on top, receiving 35mm as a thunderstorms cell passed directly overhead. Breezes also got a little hairy at times, with Adelaide Airport clocking max wind gusts of 89 km/h. Things got a little too exciting at Glenelg where a strong gust managed to get under the 'Big Wedgie', an inflatable slide, sending it tumbling down the way. Over 61,000 lightning events occurred within a 200km radius of Adelaide yesterday, over 12,000 of those being ground strikes. The outlook ahead looks much more stable for SA, with a building ride allowing for generally clear skies and light winds over the weekend.
