DURING the week a series of cold fronts and troughs resulted in moderate rainfall totals across south-west Western Australia, southern parts of South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria.

Weekly rainfall totals of 5 to 15 mm were recorded across south-west Western Australia, and large parts of the south-east, with falls 25 to 50 mm across elevated parts of South Australia and Victoria, and northern and western parts of Tasmania.

Heavy rainfall on already saturated catchments led to flood warnings issued in north-east Victoria and south-western Tasmania.

An upper trough produced patchy rain and isolated thunderstorms about the interior of Western Australia and the Northern Territory before extending into South Australia mid-week, then moving into Queensland and weakening.

Weekly rainfall totals up to 5 mm were recorded across northern parts of Western Australia, southern parts of the Northern Territory, northern South Australia and south-western Queensland, with totals reaching up to 25 mm in some areas.

Onshore flow due to a dominant high pressure system over Tasmania coupled with a deep low pressure system near New Zealand maintained onshore showers about the east coast for several days.

Weekly rainfall totals of 5 to 15 mm were recorded across some coastal areas of the New South Wales and Queensland with isolated falls greater than 50 mm in the North-Coast and Tablelands district in Queensland.

The highest weekly total (at a Bureau gauge) of 127.7 mm was recorded at Tully Sugar Mill in Queensland.

The highest daily total (at a Bureau gauge) of 64.4 mm was recorded at Mount Buller in Victoria in the 24 hours to 9 am on 13 July 2026.
