Cyclone Errol is heading towards the northwest coast, and should make landfall over Easter. The rain from this one isn't heading to Queensland like we saw last time, that produced huge areas of flooding, that is still evident today with six catchments in Major Flood.
Rain is contracting northeastwards through Queensland with a quiet period ahead for much of the state. There are still nearly countless flood warnings, and the rain that has fallen will take a long time to work its way through our river systems (but that does mean those further south will at least have river rises to look forward to) - but in terms of new rain on the horizon… there is little of that.
Big rainfalls soaked parts of southeastern Australia on Thursday into Friday, but once again, some parts missed out. We take a look at the climate drivers controlling our weather and whether this pattern is likely to continue in the season ahead.
