The earthquake the other day brought rain with it amazingly enough. We've had some pretty consistent heavy falls. The main tank which was getting dangerously low is back to over half full, and the Iruka's pond while not full to the spillway is looking more like a pond than a puddle which is great.
I finally managed to find the disk with 2005's rainfall records, and comparing them to this year is interesting to see how much drier this summer was.

Of course, those figures are in millimetres. Interesting how the year started out much wetter and then tapered off eh?
