'Brown rain' coats Melbourne cars, river and closes public pools | zhope10
While the steady rain, which is expected to ease early-mid morning, washed much of the mud from cars,is still hearing complaints about muddied pools, dirty cisterns and ill-fated loads of washing.
The latest rain event has pushed Melbourne's January's rainfall to more than 110 millimetres, more than double the month's average total of 46 millimetres, and with still a week to go. "After today it's going to clear, so much lighter winds over coming day ... we're looking at mid to high 20s, so no scorching days as we sometimes we see at the tennis," he said.
The milder conditions for the rest of the week also reduces the danger of new fires or dangerous flare-ups.
