Queensland Prepresents the World's Wettest Welcome Mat with 500mm Rain
KEY POINTS
- •The Bureau of Meteorology warned that some areas of north Queensland could see up to 500mm of rain this coming week.
- •A severe weather warning has been issued for the gulf region, with another expected soon for Townsville's coast.
- •The heavy rain is threatening local livestock as communities prepare for days of intense flooding.
The Bureau of Meteorology has apparently decided north Queensland needs a makeover—and by makeover, we mean drowning. Expect up to 500mm of rain in the next week, which is basically Mother Nature going all-out with a water hose on its highest setting. The gulf region has already earned a severe weather warning, and Townsville might join the soggy party later today. Meanwhile, locals and livestock are probably reconsidering if wet wool and muddy hooves were on their wish list. If you ever wondered what a flood warning feels like, imagine Australia’s answer to an unrelenting ex who just won’t take the hint.
