Rainfall events over the past two weeks have been recorded over the eastern states, Northern Territory, eastern South Australia, and parts of Western Australia. Some storm events have recorded totals in excess of 100mm with a number of locations exceeding these totals. The Bureau of Metrology reports that November rainfall for the nation was 37.8% above the 1961-1990 average.

Scattered storms and showers over the eastern portion of the continent have helped to reduce the rate of pasture decline. Looking at the national position, there have been only slight changes in the level of total standing Dry Matter in the past two weeks, reflecting the variation in rainfall and the ongoing bushfire impact in several states.
