South-east Queensland has just experienced one of the wettest years on record, with Brisbane receiving its highest number of rainy days in 134 years. The region's unusual weather pattern has been attributed to climate change, leading to increased rainfall and flooding. With the city's wettest year in over a century, residents are bracing for more extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall and flash flooding, making flood insurance and storm preparation a top priority. Key factors contributing to this phenomenon include La Nina and global warming.
