Sydney records most rain since weather station opened in 1858​

Sydney's wettest August in 27 years has tipped the city's recent climate into uncharted territory.

Analysing the complete weather history at Observatory Hill dating back to 1858 reveals rainfall during the past six years has been the most on record.

Since January 2020, the city has collected more than 9,300 millimetres — beating the old record of 9,120mm from 1985 to 1990.

Considering heavy rain will continue this week and more than four months remain in 2025, the record total will surge even further above all previous six-year intervals by the end of December.

From drought to deluge: What turned Sydney's weather​

After a severe multi-year drought from 2017 to 2019, the weather along the New South Wales coast took a dramatic turn in early 2020 when flooding rains resulted in the wettest February in three decades.

It was the start of what eventually became Sydney's wettest year so far this century — a 2020 annual total of 1,552mm against the long-term average of 1,221mm.

Another wetter than normal year followed in 2021 (1,290mm), before an improbable 2022 produced a record 2,530mm.
