Patchy showers have brought good falls to agricultural regions across Australia overnight, as two weather systems go to work on either side of the country.
According to The Weather Company, widespread cloud over eastern Queensland ahead of a trough is generating rain, mostly on the ranges.
Meanwhile, a cloudband crossing Western Australia ahead of a cold front is only bringing light showers, but scattered cloud in the southwest of the State behind the front is bringing frequent showers with good results.
The Bureau of Meteorology reports that in the 24 hours to 9am parts of WA had received up to 50mm, while falls of 10-15mm were common in Queensland.
There have also been patchy falls in southern NSW, Victoria and South Australia.
