Rainfall records loom as Sydney endures 19 wet days in the last 22 days

In Sydney's own version of Groundhog Day, rain has continued on Saturday in a miserable March that may break rainfall records.

 week of rain.

It has rained in Sydney on 19 of the last 22 days, dumping more than 281 millimetres.

And it is expected to continue for another week, with the best chance of a partially dry day coming on Monday.

With nearly two weeks still left in the month, the number of rainy March days has already exceeded the average of 13.6 days and is inching towards the 22 wet days in March 2014.
