Storm clouds gather over Gungahlin on New Years Day - 1 January 2012.

The first day of 2012 started off hot and sunny (max 30.3°C), but by 5pm storm clouds rolled in it looked like Gungahlin would cop a heavy down pour.  Despite the ominous looking sky, no more than a couple of spots fell at the Weather Centre.  Heavier rain was recorded to the north of Gungahlin, with 6mm falling at Collector.
