Those images you have show how spectacular and messy the flooding was – certainly a huge damage bill. What is amazing about this even was the widespread nature of the major floods across southeast Queensland and North East NSW region. Certainly the most significant flood event in years for that part fo the world. And what about the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen region – 3 floods in one year! And it si only May!

Hi Jimmy, An interesting aspect of the developing rain event is that GFS was forecasting this well over a week ago. It’s not often the charts remain so consistent. A high ridging NE into the northern Tasman Sea is a perfect situation to cradle a coastal low for a couple of days. Brisbane could do with some heavy falls though I suspect the worst of the flooding potential will again effect the Bellinger River.
The latest GFS rainfall chart is attached. Some parts of the Tweed Valley and SE QLD have had over 100mm of rain already.

Hi Jimmy – good to see some more solid follow up rain over many parts of Victoria. A strong cold front and pre-frontal trough have led to widespread storms today with some reports of hail over inland NSW too.
This system should deliver more storms over parts of NSW – and hopefully around here – Sunday to Tuesday as the trough stalls.
We ended up with about 30mm of rain as a result of Tropical Cyclone Hamish and a high pressure system directing an onshore flow for a couple of days this week. Certainly could have been a lot wetter with major flooding. The major impact from Hamish appears to have been the bulk carrier which was damaged and has led to a major oil spill over the Southeast Queensland coastline.
