In the 24 hour to 9am Sunday, the city recorded 25mm, which is also more than half of its long-term average rainfall of 41.8mm for November.
Decent falls were also recorded in parts of the Southwest Slopes and the Snowy Mountains.
The wet weather is set to continue today with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting the chance of a thunderstorm.
Wantabadgery farmer Tony Clough, who recorded 6.5mm at his property, said that while the rain was welcomed, it has been "the roughly usual amount when it rains".
"We haven't had any major events for a long, long time now. I mean big rain events," Mr Clough said.
"What we need is rain for about three to four weeks.
"I believe we should get a bit more rain over summer, but who knows what the lady upstairs will dish out."
