Sydney, Australia. 30th Mar, 2022. As floods and heavy rains return to the Northern areas of New South Wales, Sydney records its wettest March since records began The combination of La Niña, an abnormally warm Tasman Sea, and a predominantly positive Southern Annular Mode (SAM) caused prolific rain in Sydney this month. As of 9am on Wednesday, March 30, the city’s Observatory Hill rain gauge had received 537 mm of rain so far this month. This is the highest monthly total on record for March, beating mm from 1942.
