At the beginning of the week, a low pressure trough near the east coast resulted in showers for parts of Queensland and eastern New South Wales.

A series of low pressure troughs and cold fronts brought showers to southern Australia during the week, mostly to Tasmania, but also to southern parts of Western Australia and Victoria, and south-eastern New South Wales.

Onshore airflow resulted in light showers along the north-eastern Queensland coast.

Weekly totals between 10 and 50 mm were recorded across much of Tasmania, parts of eastern and northern Queensland, isolated areas in southern and north-eastern Victoria, and along the coast of New South Wales.

Weekly totals exceeding 50 mm were recorded across most of western Tasmania, where an area in the central west recorded more than 100 mm.

Most of Australia received little or no rainfall during the week.

The highest weekly total (at the Bureau gauge) was 169.6 mm at Mount Read in Tasmania, and the highest daily total was 59.0 mm at Wilsons Promontory Lighthouse (VIC) in the 24 hours to 9 am on 25 September.
