not sure dad keeps record of that not me.

698.71mm

712.2mm for me. About 70% of average, so a very disappointing year.

for temp freaks, I had 206 days over 32C and it rained on 178 days. Only 7 times this year did the temp drop below 20C and the coldest night was a chilly 18.9C

Hottest day was 37.2C and I had 8 days where more than 20mms fell with 41.0mm being the heaviest 24hour total.

not a big census then… was it a major dry year compared to 04, 05, 06, and 07?

It was a good year here…don’t know how much we had but it rained nearly every month…which is just about equatorial stuff for here…

just checked the location closest to you Dinetta, the PO has an yearly average of 640.1 and the airport has an average of 521.2.

The PO this year copped 883.2 which is indeed a wet one!

hopefully. it is the winter rains that are not happening for us.

We had 1503.4mm. Not bad.
I reckon Hopper will beat it by a few hundred tho’.

Yes Longy 2008 1751-6mm average 1347-7mm

Morning all. Storms came and went last night. All noise and light though. It’s overcast this morning and the outlook is much more humane.

MrP was given a wireless weather station for Christmas because he’s been a weather watcher from way back. It worked well predicting bad weather which happened but no wet stuff.

Maybe today will produce rain.

We would have got another good inch or more last night, just the rainfall without the dramatics…Sonny Joe is in trouble because he didn’t update the gutters and the back deck flooded…It’s cool this morning and there is an unseasonal south-easterly blowing…

I think our annual average is about a third of that…
