RAIN | Widespread delight

The Bureau of Metrology has reported almost 60mm of rainfall from Monday morning to 2pm on Tuesday afternoon.

"These are reasonable falls in an area that has been missing out on a bit of rain," he said.

Trangie recorded 43mm of rain from Monday morning until 9am on Tuesday morning.

This is in comparison to Nyngan which recorded 23mm and Dubbo which recorded 20mm.

Mr Barlow said there were also good falls in Coonamble and Coonabarabran recorded 27mm but once again Walgett and Brewarrina received very little.

Trangie recorded 15mm on Tuesday from 9am to 2pm.
