We're seeing a slight reprieve in heavy rain here in Townsville this morning but it's not
00:07
expected to last.
00:09
A severe weather warning remains in place for more heavy rain for communities from Tully
00:15
all the way down south to Eyre in the Burdekin community.
00:20
Some locations have recorded 250mm of rain overnight and that's on top of the already
00:27
record-breaking rainfall that this weather event has brought the north.
00:31
They've recorded their highest monthly rainfall for February, 1,496mm of rain, that's the
00:40
highest February total since records began 130 years ago.
00:46
The Bureau of Meteorology is once again asking the public to keep across the weather information
00:52
with the situation not expected to ease for days.
00:56
That risk of heavy falls is likely to continue through parts of today but may ebb and flow
01:01
at times depending on how much shower activity is building in the area.
01:05
But there's still going to be the risk of showers and thunderstorms right across north
01:09
Queensland well into next week.
01:11
Now of course some communities were only just beginning the clean up after seeing properties
01:18
inundated by floodwaters last week.
01:20
Now they're on flood alert again.
01:23
This renewed rainfall has really hampered the recovery efforts and is testing the resilience
01:30
of communities here in the north, many of which have been isolated or without power
01:36
for almost a week.
01:38
So we're hoping for some reprieve soon but the Bureau of Meteorology is urging people
01:43
to keep across those weather warnings for the days ahead.
