Dry, dry, dry August

I think we've probably just had the driest month since we've been living here in paradise. Just 5mm fell during August over three rainfall events (if you can call them that). July was dry as well but much wetter in comparison to August with 27.5mm falling. If the El Nino kicks in as the weather soothsayers are predicting, then we may well have our driest year here. Luckily we have a bore so can keep pumping water to water our gardens if it does get dicey.
