So much for "The Big La Nina Wet" in central Q.

DEc 21...........36mm
Jan 22...........61 mm
Feb 22..........60 mm
Mar 22..........98 mm
Apr 22..........0 mm

Total......255mm over4 months.

Only 2 days into April so far so there's a chance that the heavens may open and we get 10 - 15 mm.

Yes, it looks like the La Nina is not a reliable predictor of big Wets. Except perhaps for East Coast.

I think the last really good La Nina Wet for the NT was 2010/11?

BOM still says northern rainfall is trending upward on the long term but it is hard to believe.

Meanwhile, looks like some knockemdowns moving across Top End ...

Crikey ... the East Coast rain events have been something else this year.
