South-east Queensland could see almost record temperatures this weekend after the region was lashed by more than 150 millimetres of rain that caused flash flooding.
The torrential rain will ease over the coming days, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, with the last of the showers to be seen on Thursday as temperatures warm up.
As the deluge continued for another day, Springbrook, in the Gold Coast hinterland, reported an additional 49 millimetres from 9am on Tuesday, on top of its overnight total of 163 millimetres, while Maleny, on the Sunshine Coast, was battered by more than 150 millimetres.

It wasn t the deluge that was initially forecasted, but rainfall remained persistent across the southeast corner this Easter. Despite experts predicting up to 200mm of rain over the holiday period, seven-day totals revealed most areas averaged around 20 to 40mm. Places hit the hardest included Upper Springbrook with 119mm and Hervey Bay with 83mm. Meanwhile, Northern Sunshine Coast saw 50mm to 70mm, Gold Coast had 20 to 40mm and inner city Brisbane hovered around 20mm. There wasn t necessarily any heavy moments, but it was certainly widespread and persistent this Easter, BOM Meteorologist Matt Marshall said. But nothing could deter dedicated surfers as crowds hit the water despite grim conditions.
