As of August 10, Bathurst has received 528.1 millimetres of rain, more than the totals of 2017 (458.7mm), 2018 (508mm) and 2019 (462.8mm), but there's still over four months remaining still until the end of the year.

If current rain trends continue, Bathurst could receive its highest total of rain since 2010, when 1087.9 millimetres, thanks partially to some wet months in February, March and December.
