Ok… did some crunching on my weather station. I only have 2008 and 2009 for the May til August frame that we are looking at, and I got this:
2009: 58mm
2008: 44mm

My WMR968 gauge only tips 1mm measurements, so its quite possible that some half buckets never got filled and them evaporated after the storm.

Cool. EC shows 59.4mm since May 12, so that’s only 5mm different from your gauge. Strangely, The Weather Network shows 70.4 from May 12 to August 11, so I don’t know where they get their numbers.

Just did the same period May 12 to August 12 in the 3 years my station has been in operation:

2009: 54mm
2008: 70mm
2007: 117mm
2006: 74mm

From May 12 to now… so including the last bit of rain we got… we’ve had 54mm of rain. The same periods as you’ve mentioned.

What do your records say for June and July Chris? EC shows 18.6mm on June 24, and another 18mm falling over July 6,7 and 8.
