St George in the Maranoa, has seen four millimeters so far this Novemeber, making it the driest Novemeber since 2010, when no rain was recorded for the whole month. In stark contrast, Thangool in the Capricornia district had it wettest November in 81 years. Coen saw over 220mm of rain this month, making it the wettest November in a decade. Normanton had its wettest November in 11 years. Hamilton Island has so far recorded the highest total rainfall this month with 322mm so far, of which over 230mm fell in 24 hours. Cunnamulla saw 34mm in to 9am Friday, recording its average November monthly rainfall in a single day.
