Poor rain

Only 32.2mm of rain has fallen on the Peninsula so far this month, according to figures supplied by Mr Jim Morrison of Woy Woy.

Most of this (23.2mm) fell in just two days last week: Wednesday 9mm and Thursday 14.2mm.

The figures compare to a monthly average of 83.6mm.

More than 50mm of rain would have to fall this week for the month to reach average figures.

The poor rainfall this month has meant that the total rain for the year so far is only just above average 1146.9mm compared to the average of 1141.1mm.
