Recent rainfall station totals

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 2.10pm AEDT and available around 2.20pm.
Weekly data are updated at 8.10pm AEDT each day and available around 8.20pm.
