Summer rainfall totals were below average over southeast Queensland, the Capricornia and parts of the Central Coalfields and Maranoa. Rainfall totals were particularly low in a number of locations, especially in the Darling Downs and Granite Belt. Record low summer rainfall totals were recorded at a number of places including Nobby with 106.5 mm (average 294 mm, 67 years of record), Dunmore State Forest with 84.0 mm (average 276 mm, 64 years of record) and Ballandean with 127.6 mm (average 289 mm, 38 years of record).
See below for a list of record low summer rainfall totals.A tropical depression which tracked from Central Australia through southwest Queensland during January brought very heavy rainfall and led to higher than average summer rainfall in the southwest of the state.
Elsewhere in the state, rainfall totals were mixed, with parts of Cape York Peninsula and the northwest drier than average, while parts of central Queensland and the North Tropical Coast received above average rainfall.
Monsoon activity during January and early February brought heavy rainfall to parts of the tropics, especially the north tropical coast. The monsoon triggered the development of Tropical Cyclone Nelson in early February, bringing heavy rainfall to island communities in the Gulf. Nelson, however quickly dissipated after crossing the coast over southwestern Cape York Peninsula.
December and much of February saw less activity in the tropics, though by the end of February, another burst of monsoon activitity was developing, and likely to bring heavy rainfall to parts of the state in early March.| Hottest day Highest temperature |

Jump to: Extremes Records Summaries Notes the top
This statement has been prepared based on information available at 11 am on Thursday 1 March 2007. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
Normals are long-term means based on observations from all available years of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 10 years of record, as they cannot then be calculated reliably. *In this case, normals from a suitable nearby site may be included, if available (these are marked with an *).
The median is sometimes more representative than the mean of "normal" rain.
The Rank indicates how rainfall this time compares with the climate record for the site,
based on the
decile ranking
(very low rainfall is in decile 1, low in decile 2 or 3,
normal in decile 4 to 7, high in decile 8 or 9
and very high is in decile 10).
The Fraction of normal shows how much rain has fallen this time as a
percentage of the long-term mean.
