• In the second week of the month, an upper-level trough produced showers and rain across central, eastern and southern Queensland; isolated heavier falls were recorded in the southern tropics and central interior on the 8th
• A surface trough and low-pressure system over the southeast on the 17th resulted in showers with moderate falls across the South East Coast and Wide Bay districts
• Year-to-date rainfall is generally well below average over the southeast quarter of the State, and well above average in the northwest and northern tropics

• Daytime temperatures were generally close to average across the State, but warmer than average in pockets of the southeast
• Mean minimum temperatures for the State were slightly warmer than the long-term average
• Parts of the southern, central and western interiors had cooler than average nights overall, but warmer than usual nights were recorded along the southeast coast
