One Queensland town has already copped the most rain for the month of April in more than 30 years after just three days.
Central and western Queensland were in the firing line in March with some areas nearly doubling their average yearly rainfall.
An area the size of Victoria, or about 3,000 km, suffered through the devastating flooding.
But while that region has copped a substantial lashing of rain, eyes have turned to the east coast where some towns are experiencing a severe deluge.
Gladstone, in Queensland’s central coast, received 106mm in the 24 hours from 9am on Wednesday.
This took it’s April rainfall total to more than 200mm, marking its wettest April since 1990.
Sky News Weather meteorologist Rob Sharpe said it was eastern Queensland where showers and storms had “streamed through again” over the last 24 hours.
“There are still severe storms up near Townsville,” he said.
Townsville’s rain totals have climbed up to 33mm in just one day, while inland towns of Hughenden and Emerald copped 46mm and 45mm respectively.
“Through today we’ll still see showers and storms, mainly in central and tropical Queensland,” Sharpe said.
“If there are severe ones they’ll probably be inland whilst for Brisbane just a chance of a shower or too.”
Sunny weekend ahead for Sydney
Sydneysiders are set to be blessed with a warm and sunny weekend, as most capitals face cloudy skies and showers.
The sun will come out in New South Wales on Saturday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, as scattered showers are forecast for Friday along parts of the state’s coast.
Sydney will see a top of 25C, with some blustery winds which will ease throughout the afternoon and evening.
Sunday is then forecast to bring perfect outdoor weather, as the Harbour City basks in a high of 27C.
Other parts of the state are also set to enjoy similarly sunny conditions, with Wollongong expected to reach 25C on Sunday while Newcastle is set to hit 26C.
However, the majority of Australians living in and around state and territory capitals are in for a less picturesque weekend.
In Victoria, Melburnians can expect cloudy conditions to persist from Friday into the weekend before finally clearing midway through next week.
The BOM is forecasting a high chance of showers in the Dandenongs on Saturday, with Melbourne given a medium chance of rain.
Adelaide residents, meanwhile, appear set to miss out on a rainy Saturday, although cloudy skies are forecast to bring showers on Sunday afternoon and into the evening.
In Western Australia, Perth is set for showers of up to 7mm on Friday and 4mm over Saturday.
Broome is in for balmy conditions with cloudy skies and tops of 36C on both days.
While conditions should clear up in WA’s capital on Sunday, showers are forecast further north alongside a slight dip in temperature.
Darwin locals may welcome showers over the weekend, with the rainfall potentially offsetting 32C highs on Saturday and Sunday.
Further south in the territory, Alice Springs is expected to see sunny conditions, but cooler temperatures.
The mercury should hover between 26C and 28C from Friday through to Sunday.
Finally, flood-battered communities in south-east Queensland might get a slight reprieve as drier conditions take hold.
Quilpie, which has been inundated in recent weeks, is set for clear skies from Friday through to the middle of next week, according to the BOM, allowing locals time to assess the damage as they wait for floodwaters to recede.
Despite this, a multitude of flood warnings remain in place across the state, including for the Bulloo, Cape, Diamantina, Flinders, Georgina, Paroo, Thomson, Barcoo, and Warrego rivers, as well as Cooper Creek.
Rain is still forecast for some areas of Queensland in the coming days, with Brisbane residents in for a gloomy weekend.
Townsville and Cairns are also expected to see showers on Friday, with the falls persisting across Saturday and Sunday.
