Even the eastern parts of the Cape York are experiencing heavy rainfall which is normal for this time of the year.
I counted 600mm in these rainfall charts – interesting to see what happened in the rest of the month thus far.
Fixed the table to show the rainfall and the total of 1262.4mm of rain highlighted! That is incredible that is about 1.5 times what we get in a year here in western Sydney!
It this the first time ever that more than 150 mm has fallen on each of 6 consecutive days. A place near Mackay has 8 such days out of 9 in 1990-91 but not 6 in a row.
Wow did not know that Don! Incredible!
