All the official stations in the Brisbane area measured below average rainfall totals. These ranged between 1 and 29 % of the long term average and ranked as lowest on record, very low or low. Most sites ranked as very low of between 1 and 19 % of the long term average. 2 sites measured totals ranking historically as low being 20 and 29 % of the long term average.

In the Brisbane area most rainfall occurred in the first 10 days of the months. Some sites observed light falls at the end of the month from isolated showers.

 

Number of Rain Days: 9 days, equal to this month last year and 1 day below average. This is the equal fourth lowest on record and lowest since 9 days in 2017.
