THUNDERSTORMS, some severe, affected northern Australia and the eastern coast as troughs drew tropical moisture across the north, while another trough, interacting with moist onshore flow, triggered storms over parts of eastern Queensland and New South Wales.

Weekly rainfall totals of 15-100mm, locally higher, were recorded across parts of the north and east.

Cold fronts and associated troughs moved across southern Australia and towards NSW, producing rainfall in parts of south-eastern Australia.

Weekly rainfall totals of 10-50mm, locally higher, were recorded in parts of south-western Western Australia, south-eastern South Australia, much of Victoria, south-eastern parts of NSW and western Tasmania.

The highest weekly total at a Bureau gauge of 114mm was recorded at Old Delamere in the Northern Territory.

The highest daily total at a Bureau gauge of 88mm was recorded at Riverslea TM in Queensland in the 24 hours to 9am on November 4.
