Queensland has wettest summer in 17 years

4 March 2008

Queensland has had its wettest summer since 1990, and forecasters predict more rain to come.

The Bureau of Meteorology says most central and eastern districts received above average rainfall, with only far western areas receiving average rainfall.

Five areas received their highest ever summer rainfall - with Kowanyama on Cape York receiving 1803m, and Springbrook Road on the Gold Coast hinterland receiving 1688mm.

Springbrook Upper Alert was the wettest place in the state over summer with 2272mm of rain, followed by Hospital Bridge near Mackay with 2035mm and 2030mm at Crystal Brook, near Proserpine.

The most rain recorded in a single day was 625mm, dumped on east Mackay on February 15, causing major flooding of the city.

The bureau also recorded cooler than average summer temperatures across most of the state, largely due to cloud cover.

The coldest day was February 26, when 18.8C was recorded at Toowoomba airport in southeast Queensland.
