Source of Composite Rainfall Data

The composite rainfall data summarised in the chart and tables above are the averages of data from the two Bureau of Meteorology Rainfall stations nearest to The Pinnacle (shown on the map below).

Until the end of 2015, the Huntly station was also used, providing a better coverage of the area. However following the reacquisition of Huntly by the ACT Government that station is no longer maintained. The average data for years prior to 2016 have been recalculated to exclude Huntly.
