WEEKLY rainfall totals of 15 to 100mm, locally higher, were recorded across parts of the north and east in the past week.

The Bureau of Meteorology said thunderstorms, some severe, affected northern Australia and the eastern coast as troughs drew tropical moisture across the north, while another trough, interacting with moist onshore flow, triggered storms over parts of eastern Queensland and New South Wales.

Cold fronts and associated troughs moved across southern Australia and towards New South Wales, producing rainfall in parts of south-eastern Australia.

Weekly rainfall totals of 10 to 50 mm, locally higher, were recorded in parts of south-western Western Australia, south-eastern South Australia, much of Victoria, south-eastern parts of New South Wales and western Tasmania.

The highest weekly total at a bureau gauge of 113.8mm was recorded at Old Delamere in the Northern Territory.

The highest daily total at a Bureau gauge of 88mm was recorded at Riverslea TM in Queensland in the 24 hours to 9am on 4 November 2026.
