Rain has been drenching the majority of the nation's north these past few days, with today being no exception. The Northern Australian Monsoon has remained active across the tropics over the past week, which has led to an increase in convective activity and several tropical lows and cyclones which in turn has aided in widespread rainfall. Virtually everywhere in the Darwin-Daly district in the Northern Territory saw some rain to 9am this morning. With the lightest falls totaling 4 mm in Tindal and the heaviest in excess of 100 mm in Delamere. Similarly, barely anywhere was left untouched by rain in Queensland's Peninsula, with falls reaching up to 67 mm at Coen Airport. Ex-Tropical Cyclone Fletcher has also added to the vast amounts of rainfall seen across the Gulf Country. Kowanyama saw 339 mm in the last two days, making it its heaviest two day total since 1952.
