Syd, Wetter Than Your Pants In 2022, Is Just A Rainy-Ass Day Away From Breaking A 60-Yr Record

If 2022 doesn’t start sorting its shit out, this entire year will become Sydney’s wettest in almost 60 years. Seriously. According to news.com.au, all Sydney needs is another 200mm of rain and it will be the wettest period it’s had since 1963.

La Niña is a pesky bitch like that and she doesn’t look even close to be done with us. BoM has given a 70 per cent chance of a La Niña weather event literally pissing down on our summer plans. Friendly reminder: La Niña ramps up the average rainfall between December and March by 20 per cent. A usually warm and relaxing period that many of us look forward to, especially after the shit-show winter we’ve had, not to mention the restrictions and COVID-spikes of the last two summers. It’s also concerning for full water storage systems and flooding potential on the East Coast. “ Sorry to literally dampen any spirits. I am merely the messenger.
