A SLOW-moving low pressure system and upper-level trough led to scattered showers, rain and isolated thunderstorms, some severe, over southern Western Australia between the 26th and the 28th.

A cold front and associated trough brought scattered rain and showers to parts of the south-west and southern Western Australia on the 24th. Another cold front crossed south-eastern Australia and moved up the New South Wales coast on the 26th.

Weekly rainfall totals of 10 to 100 mm were recorded across large parts of southern Western Australia, much of western Tasmania, eastern parts Victoria and much of the New South Wales coast.

Moist onshore winds brought scattered showers to parts of the north-eastern coast of Queensland and parts of the Top End coast of the Northern Territory.

Weekly rainfall totals of 15 to 50 mm, and locally higher, were recorded across parts of northern tropical coast in Queensland and coastal parts of the Gulf and western Top End.

The highest weekly total (at a Bureau gauge) was 169.0 mm at Nerada Alert in Queensland.

The highest daily total (at a Bureau gauge) was 70.0 mm at Tung Oil Tm in Queensland in the 24 hours to 9 am on 25 September.

Note: a systems outage on 24 September resulted in no daily rainfall totals reported for that from bureau Automatic Weather Stations. These observations are in the process of being recovered. Daily rainfall observations from other bureau gauges were not impacted.
