About these data, maps and tables
- Maps and tables use real-time rainfall data, and limited quality control has been performed
- Some stations occasionally report multi-day accumulations, which may show up as high daily, weekly or month-to-date totals.
- Daily data are updated at and available around .
- Weekly data are updated at AEDT each day and available around .
- Monthly data are published around on the last day each month, then updated after midnight on the 2nd, 3rd and 22nd of the following month.
- Month periods use monthly totals, and have additional information, including 'Years of data', 'Mean' and 'Percentile' rainfall for the selected period. Percentiles are calculated for stations with at least 20 years of data; newer stations show N/A in map popups and -1.00 in the table view. Percentiles are expressed as a number out of 100. The percentile refers to the ranking of a particular value relative to all of the values for that site.
- Elevation is listed as -999 in the table when not available
- In the tables, select Station number to open rainfall table, or elsewhere in row to show on map
- Popups from the map, and Station numbers in the table, link to more rainfall information. In the tables, periods with daily data link to the latest year of daily rainfall values, and month periods link to the full station history of monthly data.

Weekly highlights
High rainfall totals in northern Australia
- Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina made landfall on the north-east Kimberley coast of Western Australia late on 25 November and brought locally intense rainfall.
- Troughs and humid, unstable air over central, northern and eastern Australia, triggered widespread storms, some severe, throughout the week.
- Weekly totals of 15 to 50 mm, and some localised totals exceeding 150 mm, were recorded from the Kimberley region of Western Australia to the Queensland east coast, including large areas of inland Australia.
- Cold fronts and troughs crossed southern Australia during the week, producing weekly rainfall totals between 5 mm and 50 mm across much of the south-east, with higher totals in elevated areas and western Tasmania.
- The highest weekly total (at a Bureau gauge) was 222.8 mm, at Wyndham Aero (WA), which also included the highest daily total of 147.2 mm in the 24 hours to 9 am on 26 November from the passage of Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina.
