Lots of clouds, rain, and thunderstorms have been striking the eastern part of Australia’s inland over the past two weeks.
‘This late-summer soaking was caused by the overland journey of ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily, which made landfall near Townsville on January 25 before lingering over eastern Australia for around 12 days,’ a Weatherzone meteorologist explained.
