Rain remains above average

Rainfall has remained above average in June, both for the month and for the year-to-date.

Woy Woy resident Mr Jim Morrison recorded 152.7mm for the month by Friday morning, June 21, compared to a monthly average of 130.6mm.

This brought the cumulative total for the year to 828.7mm, compared to average total of 731.8mm for the year at the end of June.

Rain has been recorded on all but four days this month, with about half (11 days) having more than one millimetre of rain, and most of those (eight) recording more than five millimetres.

While rainfall on the Peninsula does not generally fall into a regular pattern, the rainfall pattern for the last four months has been similar to last year with March and May being drier months and April and June being wetter months.
