Rainfall down again

 

Only 41.1mm of rain fell in November, less than half the average of 83.3mm for the month, according records taken in Hillview St, Woy Woy.

This was the second month in a row that rainfall was well below average, according to records taken by Mr Jim Morrison.

However, the 94.4mm shortfall for the two months was less than the surplus of 106.9mm in September.

A further inch (27.5mm) has fallen so far in December, taking the rainfall to 963.4mm for the year.

This compares to average annual rainfall of 1215.5mm.

Rainfall this year is just under 80 per cent of the annual average, with three weeks still to go before the end of the year.
