Very heavy rain drenched the Hunter region overnight, with several places seeing their heaviest November rain on record. A small but moisture-packed east coast low approached the region overnight, bringing gusty winds and heavy, unprecedented November rain. Clarence Town copped one of the heaviest falls of the region, recording 200mm in the 24 hours to 9am today, its heaviest rain for any month since 1946 and for November on record. Nearby Dungog collected 167mm, its heaviest fall since 2009 and for November on record, while Maitland received 120mm, also its heaviest in four years. Tocal saw its heaviest November rain on record and the most for any month since 2007, being drowned with a 24 hour total of 173mm. The town is now also experiencing its wettest November on record, with already more than 200mm for the month, two and a half times the monthly average.
