Rainfall - February 2011
Victoria again experienced heavy rainfall and flooding during February, recording the wettest February since at least 1973. Parts of northern Victoria and western Melbourne recorded the highest rainfall on record. Overall, the 2010/11 Victorian summer has been the wettest summer on record. This is the result of one of the strongest La Niña events on record, with the last event of similar strength being recorded in 1973/74.
The highest total rainfall of 492.8 mm was recorded at Falls Creek in the Alpine region. Over 50 rainfall stations across Victoria recorded the highest February rainfall on record.
Rainfall in the Melbourne region was very much above average.
