Only 4.3mm of rain have fallen on the Peninsula in the first three weeks of December, according to figures supplied by Mr Jim Morrison of Woy Woy.
The rainfall is less than five per cent of the monthly average for December of 104.3mm.
However, as of last Friday, December 20, the total for the year was slightly above average, with a cumulative total of 1375.1mm compared to the annual average of 1324.4mm.
If no further rain falls this month, this year's figure will be the lowest December rainfall in nine years.

All years since have had higher rainfalls.
