﹣趕快把瓶瓶罐罐空出來接雨水！不用淋菜了！要移植的正是時候
Sydney and surrounding areas are likely to collect their best rainfall totals in more than four months in coming days, helping to douse bushfires and bring temperatures back to more typical spring levels.
The timing of the rain remains slightly uncertain but the bulk of it will probably fall between Sunday and Tuesday, said Ben Domensino, a meteorologist at Weatherzone.
There's not a whole lot of work to be done to get to the hottest spring on record
“It's looking like the heaviest rainfall event since June,” Mr Domensino said, adding that at least 40 millimetres should land in the city's gauges with Monday likely to be the wettest day.
“It will be quite significant across eastern NSW, including the fire-affected regions,” he said.

The Blue Mountains looks likely to collect more rain than coastal regions: “This certainly does look like being enough rain to help put out the fires that are still burning there.”
Peter Zmijewski, a senior forecaster at the Bureau of Meteorology, said a couple of troughs moving through the state were bringing the rain although it remains difficult to estimate the size of falls. Saturday and Sunday may see about 10 millimetres or more in Sydney, with 10-20 millimetres possible on Monday.
"It's going to be wet, it's not going to be extremely wet," Dr Zmijewski said.
As of Thursday afternoon, NSW had 45 fires burning, 17 were yet to be contained, a spokesman for the Rural Fire Service said.
The rain will also cool daytime temperatures, which have continued to exceed long-term averages. The rain should also help farmers, with upper-soil moisture levels very low across much of NSW, according to the Australian Water Availability Project run by the CSIRO.
Record warm spring
Downtown Sydney is expecting a maximum of 27 degrees on Thursday, with 29 and 28 forecast for Friday and Saturday before a maximum of 20 on Sunday. Penrith, in the city's west, will record 35, 37 and 31 degrees from Thursday to Saturday.
This month Sydney's daytime temperatures have been closer to the long-run average of 23.6 degrees for November and are not likely like match the abnormally warm maximums reported for the past four months, Mr Domensino said.
Even so, the rest of November needs to average just 22.4 degrees each day – well below average – for Sydney to avoid recording its hottest ever spring, said Aaron Coutts-Smith, head of climate monitoring at the Bureau of Meteorology.
So far this spring, average maximums are running at about 25 degrees; the previous record high was 24.2 degrees, set for the September-November period in 2002.
“After the hottest September and the second-hottest October, there's not a whole lot of work to be done to get to the hottest spring on record,” Mr Domensino said.
Sydney has already reported its warmest winter on record and 2013 is likely to be its hottest year.
Nationally, Australia remains on course to post its hottest calendar year in more than a century of records, while the running 12 months have broken heat records for the past three months in a row.
