Crazy weather (and floods)

Well, it’s been an interesting couple of days.

It was a damp start to summer. We recorded 72.85mm of rain through December, although most of that was on Christmas Eve (17.30mm), Christmas Day (40.21mm) and Boxing Day (4.80mm). Even with that amount, it wasn’t really much of a big deal, and the water ran off and soaked away quite quickly really.

A couple of weeks later, and the storms were back with a vengance. January 7 gifted us with 60.50mm. As I started to write this, mid afternoon on January 8, we’re at 56.31mm since midnight - but fingers crossed it appears to be slowly clearing up.
