A very heavy rain event over southeast Queensland. A line of thunderstorms developed during the late morning over the coastal strip between about Gympie and the Gold Coast. A second, broader, area of storms and rain approached from the west at midday. This had the effect of enhancing the initial line of storms near the coast. The two areas then merged, resulting in heavy precipitation.

The heaviest precipitation was in Calamvale (154mm) and Stretton (141mm) suburbs, south of the city centre. Other areas of heavy precipitation were at Mt Kanigan (146mm) and Eumundi (152mm), north of Brisbane. Numerous flash floods were reported in the newspapers, together with uprooted trees in the Ipswich district. Newspaper report that strong winds snapped four power poles on the Darling Downs
