Rain- Glorious RAIN!

As I write this the rain is still persisting, as a misty haze and interrupted by heavier showers. The outlook for further rain is OK with some more falls expected later in the month. And from the Bureau of Meteorology
rain
The La Nina is appears to have peaked and should now continue to weaken. Equatorial Pacific Ocean temperatures are cooler than normal in central parts but slightly above normal in western and eastern parts We conclude that the La Nina should now remain weak or neutral through the remainder of 2008. Rain events originating in the tropics and moving south are possible about 26-28 May, 08-09 June, 14-15 June and 24-25 June. Confidence in the result is MODERATE to HIGH. http://www.eldersweather.com.au/index.jsp?lt=dist&lc=v03

So before we all breathe a collective sigh of relief, spare a though for the farmers who face a season with zero allocations.Pray, rain dance do anything - we all need more.
