💨 Abstract

In Australia's north Queensland state, one person died due to heavy flooding caused by torrential rains. Thousands of people were urged to move to higher ground, with major flooding underway in Hinchinbrook Shire and suburbs in Townsville impacted. The flooding was triggered by a low pressure system rich in tropical moisture, causing 24-hour rainfall totals of up to 300 mm.
