The Bureau of Meteorology has defended its rainfall forecast for south-east Queensand after the predicted deluge turned out to be a light drizzle for many residents.
While it was grey skies for parts of the south-east including Brisbane as a coastal trough hovered over the region on Friday and into the weekend, the initial forecast of a 300mm dumping was later reversed.

“It’s possible that one or two areas could receive up to 300mm of rain over the coming days if they experience multiple waves of those intense storms on Friday and through the weekend,” meteorologist Angus Hines stated on Thursday.

Although the most severe rainfall was circumvented, some sections of the southeast experienced significant precipitation.

The coastal trough shifted from the Gold Coast on Thursday into Friday, then progressed northward, settling around the Wide Bay Burnett area by Friday afternoon.

In the Gold Coast vicinity, rainfall reached 125mm in the 24 hours leading up to 9am on Friday, with Burleigh Waters Alert documenting one of the highest daily totals at 126mm.
