Unseasonal rainfall was recorded late this afternoon in the bayside suburb of Wynnum, when 123mm of rain fell in less than 10 minutes. Initially a spokesman at the Bureau of Meteorology was at a loss to explain the downpour, but later revealed that a group of ex-pat British people were probably to blame.
"It has come to our attention that there was a large gathering of Poms down at the esplanade and they probably caused the Critical Pom Factor (CPF) to go through the roof. Thankfully we don't see this too often over here - but we did have a recent example when England played France in the Rugby world cup - there were just too many Poms gathered in one place - it had to rain.
I cannot comment further - ask the British Met office - they are the experts.
Mr Cromarty Fisher of the United Kingdom Met office confirmed that this phenomenon has been well documented in England, notable examples being the annual all england LTA championships in Wimbledon. "Using standard meteorological measurements, the Wimbledon region is actually a desert, with less than 2mm of rain a year. But then during the tennis there is a strong CPF and the heavens open. This means that on average throughout the year Wimbledon is the third wettest place in Europe. My colleague Shannon Fastnet and I have been carrying out research on this for years - it is a very real problem", he said.

LOL Dagboy - funny, my version of the BOM site only said 30mm in an hour, but that was for Manly not Wynnum! Those few metres down the coast can make all the difference!
