Rain drops below half

The Peninsula has had less than half its monthly average rainfall in October.

Figures to the end of last week, supplied by Woy Woy resident Mr Jim Morrison, showed only 31.9mm for the month.

This compares to an average October fall of 77.7mm.

However, the rainfall for October last year was even less with only 25.6mm.

This year's figure is only slightly higher than the fall of 31.2mm for July, the driest month this year.
