Details

The start of the month saw much activity across the state. By the end of January, a tropical low had developed on the monsoon trough and was positioned over the southern Gulf of Carpentaria. This low deepened slowly and produced further heavy rainfall in already flooded areas. 

As this low weakened, a second low developed on the monsoon trough east of Cairns, strengthening to become Tropical Cyclone "Ellie" early on the 1st of February. "Ellie" remained a category 1 system as it crossed the coast near Cardwell early on the 2nd, bringing further flood producing rainfall between Cardwell and Mackay as it moved inland and weakened into a tropical depression. Flood warnings were issued for the Tully, Murray, Herbert, Burdekin, Haughton and Pioneer Rivers. 

A further weak low was identified on the monsoon trough to the east of Cairns on the 4th, drifting northward with the monsoon trough and produced further heavy rainfall on the North Tropical Coast between the 4th and 8th, causing renewed rises to inland rivers. 

Around the 10th, rainfall eased on the North Tropical Coast, but a band of moderate to heavy rainfall fell across the state from the far northwest to central Queensland causing renewed rises to inland rivers. 

From the 12th to the 14th, a surface trough was located from around St Lawrence to the Gulf, generating locally heavy falls up to 200 mm about the Herbert, Burdekin and central coast districts. A low pressure system located north of Charleville also extended northwards, causing thunderstorms between Charleville and Roma, while a surface low developed off the coast near St Lawrence and moved southeast along the coast. Southeast coastal districts saw rainfall totals up to 200 mm for the two days.

Showers and thunderstorms over the tropics generally with rain areas from the southern tropics to the central coast occurred on the 23rd, with Lucinda receiving 245 mm to 9am on the 24th, Halifax with 248 mm and Gairloch with 206 mm.

The monsoon trough was located over northern Cape York Peninsula for most of the month, generating showers and thunderstorms, and also rain areas over most of the central and northern tropics.

Rainfall

Area-averaged across the state, the rainfall was 152.07 mm based on figures since 1900.
