660 mm in 12 ore.
Australia’s Queensland state is experiencing some of its worst flooding in its history as remnants of Tropical Cyclone Jasper continue to dump phenomenal rainfall totals to the Cairns region of northern Qld. Two rain gauges have recorded over 660 mm (26 inches) of rain in just 12 hours, provisionally breaking the previous all-time state record of 617 mm set in 1972. Non-stop rain leads to widespread major flooding along Qld’s North Tropical Coast. Barron River at Myola is experiencing its highest flood levels in more than 100 years.
