Central and southern Queensland are facing additional rainfall as a tropical low continues to move southeast, prompting a flood watch across the region.
Queensland's central and southern regions are preparing for more rain as a tropical low-pressure system, identified as 29U, moves southward after crossing the northern coast. The Bureau of Meteorology warns of significant rainfall, with predictions of up to 150mm in some areas, as a flood watch remains active across much of the state.
The impact of the tropical low has already been felt, with substantial rainfall recorded in various locations, including Miles which saw 208mm, and Gayndah which received 187mm. The ongoing weather conditions could further exacerbate existing flood risks, particularly in regions from Gladstone to Hervey Bay where communities are bracing for potential flooding events.
Authorities are keeping a close eye on the system's trajectory and are advising residents to stay alert and prepared for any sudden changes in weather patterns and the associated risks of flooding. Local communities are urged to follow official updates and heed warnings from the Queensland Bureau of Meteorology as the situation develops.
