An agonising and oppressive night. The feel like temperature sat around 35.2 ° C most of the night until the wind started to change direction and there was a slight reprieve, if you could call it that. The temperature dropped a little bit to 31.2° at approximately 3:30 am then down to 290°C around 4:30 am. This is the first time in 30 years we have not had air conditioning. So we felt the full blast of mother natures heatwave.



Storms have dropped some big totals of rain with some areas receiving over 100mm . Below is the Brisbane metropolitan rainfall charts.



More storms are forecast for today and tomorrow with some heavy rain for Tuesday. The trough is very slow moving, even last night the rain we received didn’t arrive until about 3:30 where as the modelling suggested about 1:00 am. ( that is for our direct area in the SEQLD corner.).
These storms and rain can be quite dangerous for the rainrate per hour totals so please be careful and listen or look for any warnings that may be given by BoM and then through your Councils Early Warning text.
