Rain drenches the region - The Queanbeyan Age
by By David Butler | July 29, 2014
SOAKING, heavy rains over the last week has helped Queanbeyan avoid its driest summer since 1982, with 30-40milimmeters of rain falling on Wednesday afternoon across the Queanbeyan region, and a further 50mms over the weekend.
Weather bureau meteorologist Sean Carson said that now puts us about 25mms above the monthly rainfall average for February, although chasing about 50mms of rain in the next fortnight to meet the long-term summer rainfall average.
Winds of up to 75km/h buffeted the region on Wednesday afternoon and an intense storm dumped rain across Queanbeyan prompting downed tree branches, power outages and traffic disruptions as lights went out along Monaro Street.
