Onshore winds and a developing coastal trough have delivered much needed rainfall for the east coast of NSW during the last few days.
32.6mm fell in the 24 hours to 9am Wednesday in Sydney, its wettest day since March 13th 2018 when 53mm fell. Over the last two months, the city has recorded just 46mm, well short of the average of 247mm.
Elsewhere, widespread totals 25-50mm have fallen across coastal parts of NSW during the last 24hrs, with Bodalla on the South Coast recording 52.9mm and Comboyne on the Mid North Coast picking up a much welcomed 65.5mm to 9am today.
While further heavy coastal showers and isolated thunderstorms will persist for the remainder of today and into Thursday morning, activity should slowly shift north during the next 24hrs.
The rainfall is very welcome across the region due to dry conditions over the last few months, although the rain is unfortunately not spreading far inland.
