Heavy, widespread rainfall and flooding

At the end of February, a monsoon low moved eastwards into southwest Queensland, bringing widespread heavy rain, first to southwest Queensland on the 28th of February and then the 1st of March, then spreading further east into the southern interior on the 1st and 2nd. Moist easterly flow, combined with a second low which formed off the coast near Fraser Island, also brought heavy rain to coastal regions of southeast Queensland. The main low weakened and drifted south after the 2nd.

Widespread major flooding developed over the 2nd and 3rd of March on many of the rivers of southern inland Queensland. Major flooding occurred in the Diamantina, Barcoo and Cooper Creek, Bulloo, Paroo, Warrego, Wallam and Mungallala Creeks, Maranoa, Balonne, Condamine, Moonie, Weir and Dawson river catchments.  Some record flood heights occurred in a number of catchments, including the Balonne at St George and Surat, the Paroo at Eulo, Wallam Creek at Bollon, and the Moonie at Thallon. The Dawson River at Theodore and Moura reached its highest level since 1956, and the Warrego at Cunnamulla its highest since 1990.

Tropical Cyclone Ului

Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului was initially analysed as a tropical low situated in the Pacific Ocean to the north of Vanuatu on the 8th of March. The low then traversed across the northern islands of Vanuatu and into the far northeast Coral Sea before it developed into a tropical cyclone late in the day on the 12th of March. Ului then rapidly intensified over the next couple of days into a severe tropical cyclone as it moved in a westerly direction to the south of the Solomon Islands.
 
From the 15th to the 17th of March, Ului became a slow moving system as it gradually adopted a south to south westerly track. Ului underwent a weakening phase as the system moved across the Coral Sea due to a combination of increased wind shear from an upper trough crossing the Tasman Sea and cool sea surface temperatures.

As Ului fell under the influence of an upper ridge on the 18th of March the system accelerated towards the Queensland east coast, and reintensified into a severe tropical cyclone. Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului made landfall near Airlie Beach on the Whitsunday Coast at approximately 1.30am on the 21st of March.
 
Significant wind damage was reported around the Central Coast and Whitsundays district, mainly between Airlie Beach and Mackay. Reports of damage include widespread tree damage, large areas of sugarcane destroyed and localised structural damage, particularly to roofs. About 50,000 homes lost power following the passage of the system. Many boats were also damaged or destroyed due to the large seas and swell created by Ului, particularly around Shute Harbour near Airlie Beach.

Rainfall

On the 1st of March the most extreme falls occurred in far western Queensland where rainfall totals of over 150 mm occurred in parts, followed by similarly heavy falls on the 2nd of March further east through much of southern inland Queensland, particularly the Warrego and Maranoa districts.

17.1% of Queensland had its wettest March day on record on one of these two days (7.9% on the 1st and 9.2% on the 2nd).

In the 24 hours to 9am on the 1st, the highest daily rainfall total in Queensland was 188 mm at Bedourie Police Station, followed by 168 mm at Birdsville Airport, followed by 163 mm at Glengyle (all in the Lower Western district). These were all new annual extreme daily rainfall totals for these stations. Roseberth Station in the Lower Western district also had a new annual extreme daily rainfall total and Windorah Post Office, also in the Lower Western district, had a record March daily rainfall total.

These daily rainfall totals at Bedourie and Birdsville were near the long-term annual average rainfall totals at these locations – in other words a full year’s worth of average rainfall fell on just one day! Birdsville has received 375 mm for the year so far (as of 4 March), more than double its annual average and already enough to rank as its seventh wettest year on record, and its wettest year since 1974. In the 24 hours to 9am on the 2nd, the highest daily rainfall total in Queensland was 168 mm at Old Cashmere, north of St. George, 165 mm at Mitchell, and 161 mm at Coomera on the Gold Coast. 

Some sites had their highest March daily rainfall on record.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului crossed the Queensland coast near Airlie Beach early on the 21st of March, and continued to move in a west south-west direction across the central coast as weakening system. Heavy rain fell on the southern flank of this system and very destructive wind gusts occurred near the cyclone centre, with the Hamilton Island station recording a maximum wind gust of 202 km/hr.

The highest daily rainfall totals recorded during the month occurred in the East Central Coast district on the 21st, with 452 mm at Clark Range Alert*, 332 mm at Finch Hatton Alert*, 261 mm at Rowallan Park Alert* and 258.5 mm at Mt Jukes.  

The wettest overall was 2023 mm at Bellenden Ker Top Station, 907.4 mm at Bellenden Ker Bottom Station, and 825.0 mm at Corsis Alert*.

Some sites had their highest total March rainfall on record. Some sites had their highest total March rainfall for at least 20 years.

Some sites had their highest March daily rainfall on record. See a map of total rainfall. See a map of rainfall deciles.
