Month's rain falls in a week

Peninsula rainfall for June is within 10mm of the monthly average in just six days, following a month which barely recorded any rainfall.

A total of 120mm was recorded by Mr Jim Morrison of Woy Woy in the first week of June, compared to a monthly average of 130.6mm.

Just 6.5mm was recorded for the whole of May, compared to a monthly average of 125.1mm.

The cumulative total for the year-to-date of 796mm is already well above the average cumulative total at the end of June of 731.8mm.

However, another 218mm would be required to bring the total to last year's June end total of 1014mm.

June last year had a total rainfall of 377.6mm, half of which fell over three days early in the month.
