Lowest rainfall in five years
The Peninsula has had the lowest November rainfall in five years with just 22.8mm being recorded up to last Friday.
The monthly figure is about one quarter of the monthly average for November of 83.5mm.
Rainfall figures, supplied by Mr Jim Morrison of Woy Woy, show that three of the four last months have had the lowest rainfall in five years.
With just 2.9mm and 7.7mm, August and September rainfall was well below the average of 81.7mm and 69.4mm for those months.
The October rainfall of 103.9mm was the highest in five years and around 30 per cent above the average of 76.9mm for the month.
However, this was not enough to make up for the shortfall in the other months.
Rainfall for the year stands at 1054mm at the end of November compared to a year-to-date average of 1137mm.
