Abstract
The South Coast and Highlands area of the IIlawarra has a temperate marine climate which fits within Koppen's classification of climatic regimes as the type Cfb. As far as precipitation is concerned, Koppen's f modifier denotes a region with a moist climate and no dry season; that is, rainfall is well distributed across the seasons of the year. While these characteristics apply to the IIlawarra region as a whole (and in fact to most of south-eastern New South Wales and eastern Victoria), there are important variations in precipitation within the region, and in addition there are quite marked variations in precipitation on a year-by-year basis. This paper examines the factors which produce these variations in space and time.
