Two days of heavy showers has seen the Peninsula’s monthly rainfall total for January more than triple since last edition’s report.
According to data compiled by Umina’s Mr Jim Morrison, over 70mm of rain fell over the weekend of February 18 to 19, putting the region on track for a better and wetter start to the year.
52mm fell on the Saturday alone, with 20mm falling on the Sunday, and while there’s been meagre rain since the Peninsula will see out January with 103.4mm of rain under its belt.
Residents can now go into February hopeful that 2019’s arid grip on the region has been broken, or at the very least loosened.
Given that January 2019 only saw 60mm of rain it’s a very good start.
