Weatherzone, By: James Casey, 11/26/2013
The East Coast of Tasmania has been saturated during November, with records being broken in some places. Bicheno has recorded 228mm of rain so far during November, more than four times the average and the wettest on record. Elsewhere, Friendly Beach and St Helens have also been soaked this month with 226mm and 214mm respectively, the heaviest November falls in over a decade. Further south in Hobart, almost double the average November rainfall has been recorded with 80mm for the month.
The above average November rainfall was caused by a couple of ideally placed low pressure systems around the 12th to 14th and the 21st to 24th of the month. These low pressure systems were situated in such a way that they directed moist onshore winds and heavy rain onto the east coast of the state for a number of days.
