Overnight's rain is counted to March's total isn't it? So you still ended up with less than 2mm for Feb unfortunately.occluded wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 7:21 am With 1.6mm for the month at the closest BoM AWS (Viewbank) we were headed for the driest month on record (well, since 2000 anyway) - drier than 2009 with 3.6mm.
However, managed to scrape some light rain overnight - enough to wet the parched dead grass. Viewbank showing 3.4mm and the local AWS 2.2mm so we escape the record at the last gasp.
Seems the lack of baking heat (only one hot day over 35) and the rain in late January has prevented it from being worse.
