Northern Australia is experiencing significant flooding warnings as a broad trough brings warm, moist air, causing severe thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts have exceeded 100mm in some areas, with 132mm reported at Marion Downs, Queensland. The fast accumulation of rain on dry ground raises the likelihood of flash floods and potential disruptions to communities and transport. Forecasts predict further rainfall in Queensland, with central and southern areas possibly receiving an additional 200mm, exacerbating existing flood risks as weather systems move through the region.
