October rainfall records under threat across south-east Queensland

Key points

• Brisbane and the Gold Coast are on track for their wettest October in six years. Brisbane has recorded about 170 millimetres this month, roughly double its October average of 87 millimetres.
• Flash floods hit Caboolture and Morayfield, where more than 400 millimetres fell over the past week. The Sunshine Coast is likely to break its October record, with 369 millimetres already recorded at its airport.
• The Bureau of Meteorology says Brisbane is not expecting heavy falls, apart from possible showers.
