How Much Rain In January?

For Melbournians, this is a simple yet a hard to guess question!

Thinking back in January, which already ended! Thank God! I can't recall whether there were any rain or not? We might have 1 or 2 but that's about it.

So, how much rain did we get?

MELBOURNE has had its second driest January on record, followed closely by Adelaide and Sydney. All three capitals sweltered in above average temperatures.

A mere one millimetre of rain fell in both Melbourne and Adelaide during January.

"January is not typically one of the wettest months across Victoria, however, in most years we can expect some rainfall in the form of showers and storms and the odd infeed of tropical moisture,'' Weatherzone meteorologist Matt Pearce said.

''This year neither system was present and the state barely picked up any rainfall as a result.'' More

There you go, we almost had 0 but at least we got 1mm, which is better than nothing! Good news is February is expected to be wetter than average.

Having said that, I wonder why all the grasses in my Hoppers Crossing house hasn't died out yet! Sigh! Tough little buggah!
