Adelaide has been wet this month, with 110mm of rain so far. Apparently it’s the wettest August in 18 years and the coldest winter for 13 years.
Having spent nine years in the sub-alpine region of Victoria and two years in Mount Gambier, I can’t say I’ve noticed the cold, but the rainfall is hard to avoid, especially considering I like to walk to and from work.
Today was the first time this week I was able to do that, and I made it just in time this morning.
A news report said Adelaide will pass its average annual rainfall next week if showers continue as forecast.
That’s wonderful news for such a water-parched city.
For the record, Adelaide’s average annual rainfall is 545mm and the August average is 67mm.
