Here in Sydney, we haven’t had a huge amount of rain over the past couple of months. Until yesterday and today.

Yesterday, we had a total of 85.4 mm of rain. Today, we have had a total of 34 mm at 8.20am when the forecast for the whole day (according to the Bureau of Meteorology) is 5-40 mm. The rain is continuing to be heavy and getting heavier as I write. It is a day for staying indoors for sure!

The one thing that I do find quite interesting is my attitude towards more than a day of rain. Growing up, I lived in Lancashire in the north-west of England. For those that don’t know, this area of England has a reputation for being wet and rainy. I never used to think anything of it when there were weeks where it rained every single day. It was normal. Now that I live in Sydney, I don’t like it when there is more than an hour of rain! Where I live within Sydney still gets over 1000mm of rain a year, which isn’t dry, but we aren’t in northern England.

Here is to hoping the sun comes back tomorrow!
