Max. here was 20.0C (+1.6C from normal). Everywhere is lush and green, even
lusher in the river valleys.
Rainfall today so far 3.0mm (AWS).


We've already had another 20.8 mm since midnight and it's still pouring.

Monthly/annual totals are now 203.4/1231.6 mm.

Our highest August rainfall (since 8.02) is 238.8 mm in 2004 and it
looks as though that'll be exceeded this year. The lowest is 76.8 mm in
2006.

The seven year average is 158.3 mm.
