6.4mm in the gauge this morning. That pushes us just over 40mm for the event, and to nearly 50mm in the last week. MTD about 55mm (so still 40mm down on our average) but a massive improvement. That should close out the fire season here (unless we get another stupid 50 days without proper rain
). Looks to have been pretty widespread, but the NW missed out (March is still on average very dry up there) and falls dropped pretty quickly once you went north of the line from about Stawell to Redesdale.
Models did a really good job in the end. Wiggles and bumps, but most were onto this as the first proper rain for ages 5-7 days out. EC probably did best in picking the significant rain on Saturday first and more or less holding it.
Looks like a classic autumn day ahead with light winds and mild temperatures.
