Final December 2024 total here is 103mm.  (189% average).   Remarkably this means that we've now had eight consecutive Decembers with above average rainfall, half of these have been very wet.

My total rainfall for the year 2024 comes to 853.5mm, making it the 3rd wettest year I've recorded in the last 42 years. All three of these have been in the last 6 years:  2019, 2023, 2024.
