Seems you might owe the BOM staff an apology. As they said, can't see drought breaking rains for NSW until around April.
Drought remains 'diabolical' for most of NSW
"More than 99 per cent of the state remains in drought, despite record rainfall in Sydney ..."
"Data presented to the government this week shows 99.4 per cent of NSW is still in drought, with about one-third in the highest category - "intense drought"."
"Nationals leader and Deputy Premier John Barilaro said there was "no place for complacency" while parts of NSW remained "bone dry".
"I look forward to the day when we can finally say that the drought has broken but that day is not today and unfortunately it won’t be tomorrow or the next day," he said."
