Hi Michael
Interesting to note that from May 1st 2019 until today we’ve had about 645mm which is slightly more than the average annual rainfall. Who would have thought.

Yes indeed, especially as I recall reading an article on this site during summer that we would have a dry period through to May!

The post you referred to was on December 12th.
The bureau certainly had a huge change of mind over those few weeks.
