    Park Road (Jim Cambray)
    For the month of April we had 47.2mm. Our 35-year average is 64.5mm and
    median of 54.2mm with a range of 6.7mm (1991) and 155mm (1997).  So we
    were well below both the median and the average rainfall for the month of April 2021.

    Grant Street (Robin Stobbs)
    April total was 29.4mm with a mean of 58.06mm. Median of 48.5mm and range of 2.0mm to 161.5mm

    Darling Street (Roger Rowswell)
    Although we had eleven raindays we didn’t get much in the way of actual precipitation. The figures for April are 40.0mm compared with the LTA of 65.6mm and a LT Med of 55.4mm. The lowest for April was 8.9mm in 1991 and the highest 182.6mm in 2001, quite a range. Most rainfall in one day was 19.5mm. We could have done with more. However in comparison with the 1922 results we are pretty much on track with what occurred 99 years ago.
