Summer rain predicted to fill SEQ dams
Wednesday November 5, 2008 - 12:07 EDT
A long-range weather forecaster is predicting a wet summer with plenty of rain to fill south-east Queensland dams.Haydon Walker correctly predicted Cyclone Larry in 2006 and says his forecasts are based on solar flares and sunspot activity.
He is predicting a cyclone will form off the Queensland coast in January or March next year and flooding in south-east Queensland in December."It looks like it's going to be an excessive summer season starting off with good storm activity for November for the Sunshine Coast and that will also extend through on the Queensland coastline and out into the interior areas - so looks pretty healthy start for November - and then extending into December, we've got good to heavy falls and probably localised flooding at the same time.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a cyclone wander down this way during January and possibly March and in the Sunshine Coast area, we're looking at maybe up to 200 millimetres in December and more - maybe 300 or 400 mm in January - so it's a lot of aqua, flooding, will fill the dams .. so a collossal amount of rainfall I'm predicting," he said.
