Adelaide to end wettest month in 4 years with showers

29 Jul, 2009 05:31 AM
Adelaide will end its wettest month in four years with a few more showery days, but the showers will only be light and brief.

According to FarmOnline WeatherZone, the city has had more than 95mm this month so far, making it the wettest month since June 2005, when 142mm was recorded.

This is also the wettest July in 13 years for the South Australian capital.

Many would be excused for thinking this has been an extraordinary wet month.

While the number of rain days has been close to normal, 16 so far, the number of days where more than 10mm has fallen is unusually high.

There have been six such days this month, the first time this has happened in almost eight years.

The last time there were more than six days in a month with 10mm or more rainfall was 17 years ago, back in September 1992.

The next few days will not be as wet as some this month, with only about five millimetres likely.

There should be enough dry spells in between the showers to get a few things done outside.
