Three in a row brings new May record

News

The rain returned to Deniliquin yesterday with 7.2mm of rain falling in town making it three straight days of rain that amounted to over 5mm.

122.2mm of rain has fallen in Deniliquin over the course of this year so far, it is still 10mm below average up to this point of the year which is 132.3mm.

The good news is that the current rainfall total of 59.4mm is a new Weatherzone record (records kept since 1998) with the previous record being 52.8mm which was set in 2010 and there is still two thirds of the month to go to increase this new record too.

Rain under 1mm could fall like today for several days more whilst the wind will be blowing 20+ kph winds until Friday where the wind will stay between 10kph and 20kph for several days with the highest speed expected to be 18kph on Saturday.

Friday to Sunday and next Tuesday are the days where residents can expect mostly sunny conditions whilst Thursday and Monday are expected to have mostly cloudy and cloudy conditions.

We hope Deniliquin residents enjoyed the rain and may we get sunnier conditions sooner rather than later before a return to some more rain.

Myatt’s a leader in online broadcasting

News

Local man Anthony Myatt has been busy in recent years making apps to make online radio broadcasting easier than ever.

Anthony not only makes apps for broadcasting but he had a stint in running his own online radio station called TribeFM which was a great experience for himself and for those who got to be on the air either talking about day to day things or playing their favourite tracks for the people, giving listeners insight into the life of the radio presenter.

iBroadcast was the first program to be launched and the program allows users to turn their iPad into an online radio broadcast station, the program has many abilities including music, voice and Auto DJ for those want music to keep on going and much more.

iCast for the iPhone was then launched, iCast was aimed at those who like to do talk shows or wantto use the program as external audio hardware.

After iCast had a run, iCast 2 was released for the public to enjoy with improvements on the original yet this new iCast retained the easy to use style that made it a good choice.

iBroadcast 2 is now being developed and so far it is doing well as readers can see in the pictures below, this program will no doubt offer more than the original which is a win for all users seeking to hit the online airwaves yet retain all the characteristics that made the original a good online radio product.

 
iBroadcast can be purchased from iTunes and iCast 2 can also be purchased on iTunes, those interested in the development of the two programs can also visit online Anthony’s Deniliquin based company Imperative Apps, Imperative Apps has both a website and Facebook page to choose from.

The two programs mentioned above show that Deniliquin has within it’s boundaries a leader in making online radio as portable as possible.

Two days in a row for Deni

News

Rain fell again today with another 15.4mm falling around town before the rain cleared in the afternoon.

With Sunday delivering 17.2mm of rain, the total amount of rain over the last two days was an impressive 32.6mm.

Residents are absolutely delighted with the rainfall which was much needed as the total of rainfall in Deniliquin for 2016 is now 4.4mm more than what it was at this time last year.

There is a 30% chance of showers tomorrow morning and winds will start dying down on Friday morning with the wind not expected to top 12kph on the day compared to the 30kph winds we’ve been experiencing in recent days.

As we finish this report on the two days of rain, DNS offers another picture taken by Dan Clark which once more shows the rain wetting the ground that so needed a good drink and we hope the rain comes back again soon.

Rain falls once again

News,

Deniliquin residents enjoyed the rain today with the town receiving good rainfall for the second time since last Friday.

The rain may have forced many people to revise their outdoor plans for Mothers Day but a day of watching movies or doing other indoor activities would have no doubt be deemed a suitable replacement for some.

This rain is good news for the town as the farms gets the water its fields needs, water tanks fill up to ensure long term supply and lawns spring to life which is a far sight better than front and back yards as well as farm fields of brown.

The above pictures which were taken by Dan Clark and that DNS are always grateful for, show the rain doing it’s thing in town.
A closer inspection of the photos shows puddles, cars with headlights on, the mist like appearance of rain in the distance and the recent hot topic of local roads not in the greatest of shape (picture taken in the North side of town).

The rain is expected to reappear in the early hours of Monday morning and possibly on and off until Tuesday before the weather goes back to it’s previous pattern but after two great days of rain, nobody can be blamed for hoping for a little bit more.

Thoughts

A Grade have got their two wins in a row for the first time this season and will no doubt come back from the bye aiming to make it three straight.

B Grade can relax knowing they’ve had an excellent start to the season and fans will no doubt be interested to see what happens after the bye.

C Grade are back on the winners list and are running 5-1 going into the bye next week, C Grade will no doubt be eager to make it two in a row when Rovers games resume in Round 8.

C Reserve are now 5-1 which is a solid record going into the bye next week, C Reserve are the second hottest form side of all the senior Rovers teams.

Junior teams have had a good season so far with their Under 17’s and Under 13’s sides still enjoying an undefeated start to the season.

The Under 15’s will be feeling good after snaring their second win of the season and improving to 2-4.

On the Football side, The Rovers Seniors have won three straight and are no doubt feeling confident with every game they play.

The Reserves must really wish the bye isn’t next week but it is but there is no doubt they’ll be raring to pick up from where they left off when they return in Round 8.

The Under 17’s must also wish they haven’t got the bye too but this bye could really help the young side recover well and do it all again from Round 8.

The Under 14’s Football side are back on the winners list and have a strong 4-2 record going into the bye.

Overall it was the perfect day for the Rovers as all Football and Netball sides returned home with wins and there is nothing sweeter than returning from an away game with a win.

May the Rovers enjoy their great day and their week off, Rovers Talk will be running as usual next week with something yet to be determined so you will still get a Rovers fix of some kind even on the week off.

Go Rovers!
