Subscriber only CAIRNS Airport is looking likely to break its single-day April rainfall record, currently set in 1984 with 185.8mm. The Bureau of Meteorology advised Cairns Airport had received 194mm between 9am Monday and 8.30am Tuesday, and that it would be hard to suggest the record hadn t already been broken, but the data needed to be confirmed, which could take days. Another 79mm of rain has fallen at the airport in the past six hours, though the day s heaviest falls so far have been at Tully where 128mm has fallen since 9am.
