Many people are often confused by what the rainfall forecast actually means. Now having done the BOM training they also agree that it is confusing, but this is what it means:
The percentage is the chance of any rain, ie 0.2mm or more.
The number to the left is 50% chance of that amount and the right is 25% chance.
Example:
Sunday 2 July
80% of at least 0.2mm
50% chance of 2mm
25% chance of 30mm
Hope this helps when reading the daily weather forecast.
