Am sure there are far higher totals across the state but 700+mm is phenomenal
Sure is, it's more than we get in a typical year. What shocks me is the mere 143.6 sun hours for the lightest month of the year (though I'm sure winter there is mostly sunny). 10 days with <1 sun hour is quite different to what I expected for northern Australia. I imagined mostly sunny days with a massive thunderstorm in the afternoon, but only the 4th was like that. Is Mackay particularly wet or flood-prone? I remember hearing of it flooding about three years ago.
We have a wet week ahead for much of the country too, though not problematic amounts. It's actually been a relatively dry winter with reservoirs around 70% as opposed to the 90-100% we'd expect at this time of year, so best to get the rain before spring while we expect the weather to be bad anyway.
