79mm here this morning. A nice heavy shower after 8AM topped up the gauge a bit. The wetter spring forecast is looking good, we've had over 3 times the Sept average so far with 162mm. The average for the whole of spring is about 220.
Sept: 162mm
YTD: 2460.5mm

Good totals for you SM..and wow lucky you, I'd love to see a big friendly whale shark out there..!
Hope things get better for you Bunyip...a bit of time up north would be pretty nice I reckon..
we have had 130mm so far this event with some places around Innisfail already up to around the 290-300mm mark...its nice to not have to worry about so much watering, particularly as I have been putting quite few plants into the ground..it seems keeping the weeds at bay may be the main concern...

Holy cow it was a wet night 103mm here.
Reading a few local reports of a fair bit more. Unbelievable to see the creeks full and paddocks flooded in mid September.
And last week they were all starting to get dry with just pools.
Will be interesting to see what late October looks like.
Cheers

Definitely not Sept like weather. 140mm overnight and 219 in the last 2 days. It's still pouring at the moment. We're sitting on 6 times the Sept average and the highest Sept total since 178mm in 2021. Very unusual.
Sept: 302mm
YTD: 2600.5mm

A nice sedate 61mm for us overnight...and 191 so far this event....very very nice rain indeed..I've been out planting this morning as the ground is lovely and soft but not waterlogged yet..
However 379mm for Topaz overnight and 498mm in the past 48 hrs....!!!...A wicked convergence area in red and yellow on the radar was sitting right in there on the ranges behind Babinda from late night till this morning...seems to have extended right along the ranges to the south side of Cairns at SM's place now..crazy rain for you SM and only 63mm at the cairns airport gauge...
I cant remember seeing the likes of it in September before up that way...
Nice to see daintree get some also..I thought they were going to miss out.
