Lots of rainfall records broken, both highest and lowest.
There is some media comment about "driest ever month" (or words to that effect) for parts of Southland, but I think few places there will probably match August 1952, which had 6.9mm at Invercargill Aero, only 47.9 at Milford and 0.9mm "across the border" at Queenstown.
