Most South Coast towns have recorded above average rainfall for the start of 2022, in many cases smashing monthly averages, and passing previous records for the most rain.

Which in turn, has naturally led to flooding across large swathes of the region.

Unfortunately, it appears some of those figures will be raised substantially again in coming days with the Weather Bureau predicting some areas of the South Coast to receive between 40 and 100mm later in the week, including thunderstorms, with some areas predicted to possibly receive falls even higher.

Since the start of the year Nowra has recorded a whopping 1142.5 millimetres. That's more than 45 inches on the old scale.
