NSW has barely finished grappling with one of its driest Octobers on record and the state's capital city has already locked in the wettest start to a November in 26 years.

The drenching along coastal parts of NSW is also set to continue until the end of the week with forecasters warning a trough will sweep across on Thursday.

The heaviest falls recorded over the weekend and into Monday occurred over Sydney's northern suburbs.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), Avalon recorded 189mm of rainfall while Hornsby recorded 142mm in the 72 hours up until Monday.

BOM forecaster Katarina Kovacevic said the coastal regions had received the highest rainfalls.

"The rainfall drops off quite dramatically in and around Penrith where you are looking at falls between 20-30mm," she told AAP.

Hail storms and damaging winds have also plagued the Mid North Coast and up to the Tweed Heads border.

Sydney Observatory Hill has had 153.8mm of rain since the start of the month.

Ms Kovacevic said it had been the wettest start to November in Sydney since 1987.

The wet conditions follow the eighth driest October on record for NSW.

BOM climatologist Acacia Pepler said Sydney had 42.2mm of rain in October, which was half the monthly average.

But for Katoomba, last month saw the driest October the town has ever recorded.

Ms Pepler said it was not unheard of to see variable weather at this time of year.

"August to October is the driest part of the year for Sydney," she said.

"As we move into summer you can get into those wet changes."

Showers will continue on Tuesday mostly along the coast before easing throughout the day."

Wednesday should be dry for Sydney, according to the BOM.

Ms Kovacevic said another trough would move through on Thursday with a return to rain.
