We've had 20mm of rain today until 5 pm and some showers since.
Some places such as Coonabarabran and Ungarie have experienced flooding.
Oh, and it looks like the Bay of Bengal theory holds water (sorry about that pun!). There has been something of an urban myth that heavy rain in the Bay of Bengal results in rain in western NSW about 6 weeks later. They had a terrible cyclone in Bangladesh about 6 weeks ago and I've been saying ever since that rain or otherwise around Christmas time would be the test of the theory.
I don't know how it works because I always thought that the northern and southern hemispheres don't have much mixing between them, but apparently there is some weather link.
Another downpour has just begun as I write.
Needless to say, tonight's "Living Nativity" will not be happening.
