You’ve no doubt heard by now about our wet summer in eastern Australia. Well I was doing some number crunching yesterday and discovered that since the 1/12/2010 we’ve had at least 234% of our average rainfall for this time. More than twice our average rainfall for the summer months. As for March, well we’ve had our average March rainfall over the last 2 days. So any more rain in the remaining 21 days of this month and our start to Autumn will be well above average as well.

There’s been lots of talk about this summer being ‘unprecedented’. If I get bored I’ll go back through our local rainfall records and find out if it has happened before.
