Parts of northern NSW and southern Queensland have received many times their average February rainfall in the first three days of the month. Moree, in NSW, had 173.4mm to 3pm yesterday (February norm, 68mm) and St George, in Queensland, received 184.6mm, more than three times its monthly average of 61mm.

The bureau's NSW spokeswoman Julie Evans said the heaviest falls in the state's north had been "huge".

Since January 23, Bowra Sugarloaf had received 896mm and Dorrigo Mountaintop was soaked with 788mm.
