Sydney has sloshed through yet another wet weekend, with a total of 222 millimetres of rain soaking the city over the past 19 days – 16 of which were rainy.

While the rain is expected to persist for the rest of the week, Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Gabrielle Woodhouse said the wet conditions were no cause for alarm.

"We start to see a lot of the weather patterns change [in March] and so this is where typically we start to see some wet months," she said.

"You can start to see these sorts of troughs where we just have a lot of shower activity or the development of lows off the coast and they're the ones that generally bring the widespread rainfall, with a really high rainfall total."
