Along the South Australian section of the Murray River, Renmark received 10millimtres which was a welcome addition to the 13 millimetres recorded earlier this week. This means that Renmark has already accrued its highest monthly rainfall in three months. In most other locations along the lower Murray one to two millimetres was recorded. The rain was thanks to a front that crossed the southeast over night causing widespread showers. Another front is forecast to cause showers across the southeast again late next week, possibly causing falls of five toten millimetres again.
