By 9am, 9.8mm had been recorded at Bathurst's official weather station at the airport.
Weather forecasts had previously indicated Bathurst could receive anywhere between 1-5mm of rain on Thursday, so it's a good sight to see the morning's rainfall go beyond the previous forecast predicted.
Thursday was the first time rain had been recorded in Bathurst since May 9 and there still remain a chance of more rain to fall throughout Thursday.
Bathurst has officially recorded 35.4mm of rain this month.
