The Northern Territory and Queensland felt the brunt of the northwest cloud band as it moved eastwards over the weekend, with parts of the Sunshine State’s north-west receiving as much as 100mm of rain in the 24 hours to 9am on Monday.The Outback town of Tennant Creek, meanwhile, has recorded its wettest July since 1978 – and we’re only a few days into the month.
Widespread accumulated totals of between 30 to 50mm are forecast for the state, with up to 80-100mm possible for the coast between Mackay and Townsville.An unprecedented mid-winter torrent has broken records in the Northern Territory and Queensland this week. Picture: Sky News Australia
