Queenslanders have been warned to brace for floods and “triple digit rainfall” as some areas recorded more than 240mm of rain in less than 24 hours. Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Miriam Bradbury said the state’s north east tropics had experienced widespread rain and showers, with Paradise Lagoon recording 248mm of rain between 9am Monday and 5am Tuesday. About 75mm of the rainfall was recorded in just an hour, Ms Bradbury said. She warned wet weather was set to continue, with flood warnings in place across the state. “It’s likely that some locations, particularly about the north tropical coast, will receive triple digit rainfall totals day after day,” Ms Bradbury said. “This will result in river rises and potentially significant flooding. “Heavy falls should start to ease back later this week although showery weather is likely to persist into the weekend.” Picture: Weatherzone.
