Queensland's central and north coasts have copped a late season soaking, with some parts having their heaviest rain in months.

A low pressure trough situated off the QLD coast has combined with humid onshore winds to bring the heavy falls. In the 24 hours to 9am, Low Isles picked up 101mm. This is the heaviest rain since January after recording well below average rainfall over the past two months. North of Low Isles, Daintree Tee had a whopping 166mm of rain.

It was the heaviest April rain in 15 years for Mackay Airport and 14 years at Willis Island, with 93mm and 85mm respectively.
