Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Seasonal Conditions Coordinator Ian McGowen said the wet weather continued into July providing most of the state with above-average to near average rainfall.
“July provided above-average rainfall for some areas of the far west of the state, with falls between 10-50 mm. However, areas between Brewarrina and Walgett and near Tibooburra received less. Areas near Broken Hill, Bourke, Cobar and Ivanhoe received 25-50 mm,” Mr McGowen said.
“The majority of the central west, Riverina, far south, central and southern tablelands, Hunter Valley, Sydney basin and south east received 25-100 mm. Areas of the south coast, central tablelands and south west slopes received over 100 mm.”
