A hot humid day in the garden after 200mm of rain

After 200mm of rain the garden certainly has appreciated it after such a long time without any decent rainfall the palms and tropical plants in my garden are no longer feeling the affects of the drought loving the heat and humidity

Looking great. 200mm mid summer is awesome. I had 20mm in 10 minutes roughly on Wednesday night and the garden loved it. I’m still irrigating though but what falls from the sky during summer is awesome.

200mm = 7.87 inches. Over what period of time, duration, would that much rain occur?

That was over 3 days time we have had 300mm in 15 hours time our bridge wasted away the power lines were cut off by falling trees and no access for a week without a bridge so the power was out for a week it was very wet that day indeed
