Perth's longest October dry spell in 138 years?
If the official Perth station doesn't see any measurable rain until October 28, then Perth would be seeing October's longest dry spell in 138 years that is since October 1882. Perth Metro hasn't seen measurable rain since October 8 (dry spell starts from October 9).
If it doesn't rain by November 1st, it would be the longest Perth dry spell to have started in early October on record with daily rainfall records dating all the way back to 1877!
Perth's longest October dry spell on record was from October 5 to October 28 1882.
Perth's second longest October dry spell on record I believe was from October 11 to October 29 in 1892 and October 8 to October 26 1970.
All 4 long October dry spells occurred during La Niña.
