Yeah, I'm going off Cairns Aero data, as it has all the climate data, whereas the AWS's and the alerts around the place don't. Just that the 2021 wet season may not have been a fizzer,- as at the end of March we'd had 1320.4 mm, with the long term average for those three months being 1261.4 mm.(Jan - 403.2 mm -- Feb - 443.1 mm & Mar - 415.1 mm). Sure, the good rains on 19th Apr & to the months end, put it way over the 200.0 mm average, with 804.4 mm falling in total. But things were doing better than average until then, and April could possibly have finished close to the long term average. Yeh fair call mate I was probably exaggerating it a bit calling it a fizzer. Im currently at 2600mm and would think that i should go over 3000mm by the end of the year, Bunyip looks to be set to go well into the 4000mm range but i reckon the big hit out will be between cape tribulation and tully, cape trib hasn't uploaded data for a few months but they were almost neck and neck with tully and I have been seeing them get hammered on the radar in recent months. Babinda hasn't reported since early july which i find frustrating and bizzare considering it is the ultra heavy weight for contests between towns, would think they would be eager to post their data to BOM frequently. Innisfail wharf is also punching way above its weight with around 3500mm already and another 160mm+ this month with more to come this weekend.
