Rained In SE Queensland

About an inch at Mt. Glorious. Nice!

People are getting optimistic again. The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is at 12.3, the highest it's been in a year-and-a-half:

SEQWater operations manager Rob Drury said any downpour in the next fortnight should lead to "substantial inflows".

He said although the rain over the dams this week was not heavy, falls had occurred over the entire catchments.

..."I know it's not much, but it's more rain than we've had in a long time," Mr Drury said.
