Well, for the first time in years we have had really decent rainfall here Far Western N.S.W.
It started with the usual drizzly showers late Wednesday evening ( more like spit and dribbles) then Thursday night it seemed to get a bit heavier and steadier until yesterday when it just kept on, not heavy rain that would just cause run-off only, but good soaking rain.
Checked my Rain gauge about 20 minutes ago, expecting to find that perhaps we had gotten the very rare 5-10 mms of rain had fallen only to see that it registered a wonderful 32 mms ( about 1.25" in the old measurements) and the skies are still heavily overcast and the Relative Humidity is around 87%.
Not quite enough to break the grip of the Drought out here but a good sign that the B.o.M. predictions of a La Nina weather Effect may be well and truly on the cards at last.
Maybe now we out here will start to see greenery where once, for years now, all we've seen are the remnants of dead or dying grasses, starving/dead animals and bare dried out, dusty brown earth.
