The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Climate and Water Briefing dated 22 October predicts a 50% chance of summer rain across NSW from November to January.
However, rainfall is likely to be below average across most of the New South Wales for November.
The drier outlook continues into December for most areas within New South Wales, however, the summer outlook is more neutral.
While outlooks for drier than average conditions may ease for some areas in the coming months, it should be noted that several months of above average rainfall would be needed to see a recovery from current long-term rainfall deficiencies.
