After coming through a tough phase marked by drought and bushfires, some inland Australian bird species are now thriving after a plentiful amount of rain.

Birdlife Australia's NSW woodland bird program manager Mick Roderick said it was hugely encouraging.

"A remarkable boon, it's just been incredible," he said.

Ex-tropical cyclone Imogen is continuing to dump heavy rain on Queensland's north, with "intense" falls, flash flooding and "damaging to destructive winds" possible as the system hovers over the region.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) predicts potential isolated daily rainfall totals of more than 350 millimetres in some parts.

Forecaster Peter Markworth said the region would see falls today between 150mm and 200mm, with heavier falls between Tully and Townsville predicted over the next six hours before extending down to Ayr for the rest of Tuesday.

Summer has finally arrived in Australia’s southeast, after an exceptionally cool and cloudy start to the season caused by classic La Nina conditions.

La Nina typically makes summers cooler and wetter. As we told you on the weekend:

Melbourne had its coolest December since 2001 (based on daily maximum temps)
Western Sydney and Canberra had their coolest December in a decade.
Adelaide and coastal parts of Sydney had their coolest December since 2014.
But this week, it's finally warming up in eastern Australia. The relentless moist easterlies typical of La Nina have eased for the time being, replaced by hotter, drier winds from the north and west.

A low pressure system located over the eastern Indian Ocean could soon become the second tropical cyclone to form in Australia's area of responsibility so far this season.

As the sun rose on Thursday morning, a tropical low was passing close to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. While the system hasn't been strong enough to cause damaging winds on the island, a weather station at Cocos Island Airport received around 100mm of rain during the 24 hours to 9am on Thursday.
