More than 5 millimetres of rain has been recorded in the ACT since 9am on Monday.
It was far less than areas surrounding the territory, which recorded more than 20 millimetres.
Mount Ginini, on the ACT-NSW border recorded almost 21 millimetres of rain in the same period.
Holidaymakers on the NSW South Coast also experienced heavy rain, with 15 millimetres recorded in Ulladulla and 9 millimetres recorded at Batemans Bay.
The wet weather comes a year after Canberra records were broken as the capital's temperature soared to 44 degrees.
