Australia’s east is in for another drenching, as unseasonably heavy rain forecast for Queensland and the Northern Territory spreads across much of the country this week.

Forecaster Weatherzone said a stream of tropical moisture would produce rain over a broad area of the NT and Queensland – possibly delivering several months’ worth of dry-season rainfall in some areas.
