Adelaide is going through its wettest year in four decades, and there's more rain on the horizon.
Weatherzone reported that the South Australia capital had recorded 316mm of rain for the year to date, as of 9am yesterday.
There were hundreds of calls for help and a number of road closures, flash floods and even a rockslide as heavy rain hammered the city last week.

Falls of up to 52mm were recorded yesterday on Kangaroo Island, while lighter rain fell on Adelaide.
Last week's heavy rain, which unfolded from Thursday, was characterised by "prevailing northwesterly winds that enhanced precipitation through a phenomenon known as orographic uplift", Weatherzone said.
This means that the air was compelled to rise over the mountains near Adelaide, which cooled it and led to the release of further rain.
