COLD fronts and associated troughs led to scattered rainfall and storms, some severe, across south-western Western Australia, southern regions of South Australia, eastern New South Wales and much of Victoria and Tasmania.

Weekly rainfall totals of 10 to 50 mm were recorded across south-west Western Australia, south-eastern parts of South Australia, much of Victoria and northern and western Tasmania.

Offshore coastal troughs led to showers and storms across parts the Queensland and New South Wales coasts.

Weekly rainfall totals of 5 to 25 mm, with locally higher totals to 100 mm, were recorded across isolated parts of north tropical Queensland coast and coastal New South Wales.

The highest weekly total (at a Bureau gauge) was 103.0 mm at Cronulla South Bowling Club in New South Wales, which included the highest daily total of 58.0 mm in the 24 hours to 9 am on 15 August.
