A few c very heavy  1 hour falls around NSW  recently

Sydney had 40 mm in 40 min s and 50 mm in an hour a midday yesterday and  it was  reported  as “Sydney’s heaviest 1 hour  rainfall in 30 years”.

Not sure where that fat came  from (I  can’t confirm or otherwise)  but  if true, it puts  into context  Sydney’s heaviest ever 1 hour  fall of 121 mm in the 8 November  evening storm of 1984.

I  think that remains  the heaviest 1 hour  fall in an Australian capital  city  although Brisbane  once had 86 mm in 30 minutes

Hi Don
We recorded 26.3 mm in a storm last evening. I am yet to look at the PWS data but I think it fell in about 20 minutes. We had some water come through a skylight on the back veranda otherwise no damage.
I am currently in Crookwell visiting our youngest daughter.
Cheers
Gavin
