Congratulations.
It does seem to be more like a drizle for the moment, but in a few hours you'll get a short lasting shower, and then it's over for a couple of days. It cannot be nearly enough to offset the drought though.
It was a bit more than drizzle for a while where I am, but it has stopped for now. From past experience, I expect people will get used to short and light periods of rain, then when the drought begins to truly break, and serious rain is forecast, there will be uncertainty about the amount of precipitation, because weather forecasts are rarely accurate and alarmists will be repeating the mantra that droughts are predicted to get worse because of anthropomorphic climate change, and the dam operators will probably not release enough water in preparation for the forecasted rains, and massive flood damage will result.
At least that's what happened in Brisbane at the end of the so-called 'Millennium' drought in 2010-11. There was a class action against the dam operators for not releasing water immediately after the BOM forecast heavy rains. After 10 years of litigation the court has finally ruled that the dam operators were in fact negligent for not releasing more water before the forecasted heavy rains arrived.
This is why I find the widespread mania about the harmful effects of CO2 on climate, very troubling. The practical solution to our problems are more flood-mitigation dams and long-distance water pipes, stricter building codes based upon the past history of extreme weather events in the region, regular burn-off of forest debris during safe conditions, as the Aboriginals used to do, and so on.
Doing this requires abundant sources of energy, which we have. Strangling ourselves with expensive and unreliable, alternative energy supplies, will get us nowhere.
