The three Greater Shepparton stations will need to experience at least another 30 mm of rain to hit the July averages.
Despite above-average rainfall for 2020, Mooroopna and Tatura both couldn't reach their June averages but Shepparton scraped in by a couple of millimetres.
The Mooroopna station reported 39.4 mm, about 10 mm under its average, and Tatura saw 35.8mm of rain, which was about 8 mm shy of its monthly average. Shepparton had 39.6 mm of rain in June.
The BOM is predicting dry days ahead for the remainder of the week until a possible shower on Saturday.
