The big rain event came pretty early this year with torrential fall overnight on May 5-6 when we got 250+ mm. Last year it didn't happen until May 29.

Interestingly, it was purely an east coast thing with the rest of the island remaining dry. There was a pretty innocuous looking low on the charts but nothing to suggest what was coming.


rain chart is just for May 6 - started raining around 9pm on May 5
