Well I got caught in a shower this afternoon and it was so torrential that within about 40 seconds, everything was soaked, including my underwear, hair plastered to my head, jeans, shirt everything absolutely sodden.
It reminds me of England... torrential rain and greyness.
But I bet Waragamba is getting a bit! Just enough for all you Sydney peeps to fill your pools with.

The drought has contributed to a significant rise in the number of farms for sale in the Wheatbelt.
Geraldton Real Estate agent Jock Drummond says 140 properties are listed for sale in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, from Moora to the Northampton area.
"A conservative figure of probably 400,000 acres and could be close to 450,000 acres would be on the market," he said.
He says that is 3 to 4 times the number of properties usually listed for sale during spring.
A farmer from Electra, west of Bundaberg, says his lychee and mango crops have been saved by the intermittent rain that has fallen since June.
Derek Foley has a 3 per cent water allocation on his property in the Burnett Shire which was drought declared just over two weeks ago.
Mr Foley says 25 millimetres of rain fell at his place on Monday night, ensuring his Christmas fruit crop will be healthy.
"So far every time we get close to being in a more difficult situation we've been getting a bit of rain," he said.
"That's been happening since June and our main harvest season for our mangoes and lychees starts around about Christmas.
"So every week we get a little bit closer to that point."

Hot and sunny here for what seems like months !
bit humid last week for a few days though but generally 31-33 and blue skies
I too would like some rain for the grass and all the new plants we have put in so that they could get established before the "wet". sick of watering them, god knows what our next water bill will be ! and topping up the pool too !

What's wrong with rain?
Cairns has an annual rainfall average of over 2000 mm a year; more than anywhere in the UK. One of the main reasons I moved here...

Sounds like here although the cold and horrible are relative. I'm cold but you'd probably be in your swimmers. Nah, it's not horrible. As you were
