The graph below compares summer rainfall (Apr-Sep) with that of winter (Oct-Mar).
Winter rainfall is considered more 'valuable' as it is this rain that replenishes underground reserves.
It is also a good example of poor grahics. I am working on it.
This last winter's rainfall was less than the preceding summer rainfall for only the third time since I started keeping records. The only previous occasions were winter 1999-2000 and winter 2012-13 (which followed the record wet summer of 2012).
