Meanwhile, Beechmont, on the Gold Coast hinterland, received more than 20 millimetres and Brisbane Airport recorded almost 13 millimetres.

The South Burnett region received to heaviest falls after 9am, with Proston recording 15 millimetres in just over 5 hours.

The forecasters said the storms are not particularly unusual.
"It's not overly common but it's definitely not unheard of," he said.
"This stuff tends to happen all year round.
"It is outside our typical storm season but the drivers for these storms are different to the drivers of our summer storms."
