The Kimberley has experienced its wettest summer on record, with regions like Kununurra receiving double their usual rainfall and Lake Argyle overflowing.

A whopping 944mm of rain fell across the Kimberley during December, January and February. This is more than double the region's seasonal average of 452mm, and washes away the previous record of 787mm set in 1996-97, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
