Remember when Ballarat was last on the end of a huge downpour?
In September, 2016 Ballarat and surrounding districts went under water as massive amounts of rain fell.
On September 14, 54mm of rain fell in a 24-hour spell.
Ballarat has received 47.4 mm of rain since 9am Sunday, making it 57.2mm for the entire weekend.
Ballarat usually averages just 51.3mm of rain for the entire month of April.
Unlike last year, however, there has not been the same amount of rain in the lead up, meaning the water drained away far more effectively.
