Driest stretch in 10 years

The Peninsula is likely to record five straight months with below average rainfall.

Rainfall as at November 23 was 55.6mm, almost 40 per cent below the average 92mm for the month, just one week before the month end.

Figures supplied by Mr Jim Morrison of Woy Woy show the cumulative total for the year at 1135.1mm compared to the November year-to-date average of 1220.7mm.

The figures show that only 362.9mm has fallen on the Peninsula in the period from May to November, the driest in around 10 years.

Mr Morrison said local figures were not reliable that far back, but the Bureau's site at Narara has not had a lower total for May to November since 2002.

In that year, the Narara weather station recorded a total of just 237mm for the period, Mr Morrison said.

Temperatures so far this month have ranged from 11.6 degrees to 32.9, according to local weather website, www.peninsulaweather.info.

The overnight low was recorded on November 12 and the top temperature was recorded on November 1.

Highest minimum was 20.3 degrees on November 7 and lowest maximum was 18.2 on November 16.

Humidity ranged from 32 per cent on November 1 to 100 per cent on November 4.

Highest wind gust was 32.4km/h recorded on November 22.
