Canberra Airport has recorded the wettest October day in 50 years, with 45 millimetres of rain falling in the 24 hours to 9am on Saturday, October 3, 2026. This marks the wettest day of the year so far in 2026 and surpasses the previous record of 46 millimetres set on September 11, 2025. Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Johnathan How confirmed that this was the wettest October day recorded in the capital since 1976. The heavy rainfall, which began early on the long weekend, significantly impacted local events and activities. Floriade, a major flower festival, saw visitors struggling with the downpour, while the 'Killing of Canberra' graffiti event, which aimed to feature 80 artists painting 520 metres of approved walls along the Woden drains, was largely disrupted as the drains turned into fast-running water channels, leaving many walls unpainted. The weather system that caused the downpour was a trough moving through inland NSW from the north-west, with heavier falls and storms expected to affect areas near Yass and Gundagai. Meteorologist How noted that some decent storms could continue into the afternoon, though Canberra is forecast to have showers on Sunday with a top temperature of 20 degrees and partly cloudy conditions. With school holidays and a long weekend underway, authorities urged motorists to exercise caution due to heavy downpours across southern NSW. The event has been described as a significant weather event, breaking records and causing notable disruptions to community activities and travel plans in the capital city.
