Brisbane Queensland Rain Fall

BRISBANE is enjoying some of its heaviest rain in months, with the airport registering 32mm since 9am this morning.

Other places to get a refreshing shower included Hendra with 18mm, Bowen Hills (12mm), Brighton (13mm) and Aspley (14mm). Weather Bureau forecaster Brett Harrison said the showers were courtesy of a moist southeast air flow.

Large parts of Queensland are expected to enjoy a wetter than usual winter.
Brisbane and the southeast will have up to a 65 per cent chance of more rain than usual, while the drought-hit west is looking at a 70 per cent chance of better rain.
