Today, the northern region of Queensland is bracing for another day of intense rain, which could potentially lead to more flash flooding. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the areas from Prosperine to Townsville experienced the heaviest downpour in the past 24 hours, with parts of the state being warned about the possibility of life-threatening floods last night.
In fact, some of the heaviest rainfalls were recorded in places like Proserpine, Bluewater, and Black River, with 233mm, 237mm, and 240mm of rainfall respectively. As a result, severe storms with heavy rainfall are expected to continue across the northern and western parts of Queensland today. This could potentially lead to flash flooding in areas north of Mackay.
As a precautionary measure, flood warnings and watches have been put in place across various parts of the state, including the Burnett River and Bohle River. In the northern areas, the Bruce Highway has been partially cut off due to flooding. This has also affected the Whitsunday Coast Airport, with limited access as the highway remains closed.
In light of this situation, the airport has advised all travelers to stay in touch with their respective airlines for the latest updates on their flights. This is important for a smooth and hassle-free travel experience.
