TOOWOOMBA got drenched at the weekend, with constant rain falling across the two days.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology Toowoomba recorded 18mm on both Saturday and Sunday.

Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport recorded 18mm on Saturday and 32mm on Sunday.

More rain needed for crops

Ravensbourne recorded the most rain in the region with 75mm falling across the weekend.

BoM forecaster Harry Clark said rain would continue to fall over the next two days.

"It is quite a complex system because an 'upper low' is entering the state providing instability and moisture which is causing showers to form," he said.
