It's hard to believe but rainfall in NSW during November is so pathetic it's even well below even the worst
parts of the drought - all in a wet La Nina event.
While storms have delivered some beautiful falls to particular areas, there has been little general rainfall until today (Monday) and that has been confined to southern areas of the state.
This is despite all climate models pointing to a wetter than average spring and summer, with the rain inducing La Nina supposed to be delivering extra precipitation.
In many ways, it's been a blessing, allowing farmers who have gone into hock to get wheat and other grain crops in after losses and cashflow crises during the long drought, now with the dry and hot finish in November, seeing some of the best crops in decades harvested, breaking all NSW grain delivery records in recent days.
But the underlying lack of rain seems to be against all climate models. La Nina may still be due to letting loose, but it appears she has missed the first bus to Australia from the cooling seas of the eastern Pacific.
A quick look at weather totals in some parts of NSW provided by Weatherzone shows how deficient the rain has been.
At Narrabri in the north of the state, just 6.6mm has been recorded so far this November, compared to a November average of 75mm, and 54mm last year during the 2019 drought year. (Daily Liberal)
