8.4mm here this afternoon and evening.
We have also benefited locally with the easterly/positive SAM summer, with fairly frequent streams of south easterly and southerly drizzle or light showers along with topographically enhanced falls during larger systems. It’s still had its dry patches, especially in February, but we’re now on 325mm for the year so far, including 141mm for March. La Niña also helps of course, if only it were every year
I have family living in Gembrook and the current pattern is very telling, as they typically have higher rainfall but are running at around two-thirds of the total here, likely reflecting the reduction in south westerly systems this summer. In fact, they’ve been complaining about rain shadowing!
