State Emergency Service (SES) crews were kept busy as rain and wind wreaked havoc across the region, blowing down trees and causing minor flooding.

Murray Bridge SES responded to 20 calls throughout the weekend.

On Saturday winds tore out trees as the gales grew from 60 kilometres per hour at 10am to 78kph lasting most of the afternoon.

A SES spokesperson said minor structural damage also kept crews busy.

Home owners also dealt with minor flooding as the skies opened on Friday.

Around the Murraylands between 14 and 32 millilitres of rain fell between Friday and Monday, with the heaviest showers in Murray Bridge.

Bureau of Meteorology spokesperson Bob Shahinger said despite a dry start to November most of the Murraylands received double its average rainfall during the latter part of the month.

Weather conditions have also held up harvesting for farmers around the region.

Farmers Federation eastern region chair Roger Farley said harvesting would not begin again until at least Wednesday.

“We have definitely lost a lot of weight and colour and in economic terms this knocks between $20 to $50 off each tonne,” he said.

“Multiply that by two and a half million tonnes across the State and see what that adds up to.”

The forecast for the week ahead will have Wednesday reaching 30 degrees celcius before it begins to cool off again.
