The Weather that was...

Greg Juckert compares last year's rainfall with our 2014 statistics:

Days of rain Dec 2015: 7 (Dec 2014: 17)
Days of rain yearly 2015: 96 (2014: 114)
December total rainfall 2015: 175 points / 44 mm (2014: 527 points/132 mm)
Yearly total 2015: 2111 points / 527 mm (2014: 2605 points / 651 mm)

Editor's note: this certainly affects our gardens but we need to be mindful of how much better off we were than in Victoria's Western District, where the Bureau of Meteorology recorded "serious or severe rainfall deficiencies (lowest 10%, or lowest 5% of historical records) are present over much of central and western Victoria."
