2 metres of rain in 2 months! Did I read that correctly? Wow!
#Townsville AP has ended March with an insane 1004.6mm! Not only does this destroy the 2011 March record by more than *300mm* (696.2mm), its the **4th wettest month of all-time**!! For the first time, 2 months this year have recorded more than a metre of rain! Data since 1941
