It has been over 40 days since we had any reasonable falls of rain here in south east Queensland, it also has been unseasonably warm for this time of year, temperatures as high as 30 degrees have been recorded, a very bad fire season is predicted for this summer, possibly rivaling the Black Saturday bushfires. Severe storms have been affecting Victoria, wind gusts up to 130 km/h have been recorded.
