Starting on January 17, the new state and the state of Kunming received record-breaking rainfall, helping exhausted firefighters douse 49 wildfires. However, this huge precipitation has also had some impact on people`s lives, including road water and road closures. But some of the mountain fires that haven`t been raining have continued.
Heavy rainfall in new states and Queensland
Combined with SBS, the Daily Mail reported that on the evening of the 17th, parts of Xinzhou had the biggest rainfall since 2011, and parts of the north and northeast had allegedly received 126 millimetres of rain.
Despite the heavy rainfall in the new state, the state emergency service said it was "relatively calm" during the period, with only a small amount of flooding and leaking roofs.
According to Grahame Reader, acting head of the New State Weather Service, widespread rainfall and thunderstorms in the new state will continue into next week.

Compared with the new state, the impact of rainfall in Kunzhou is greater. Major roads remained cut, amusement parks closed and dozens of cars washed away by flooding. The nightly precipitation in southeastern kunzhou has reached a terrifying 300 mm.
On the morning of the 18th, police rescued two citizens trying to drive through the floodwaters on the Gold Coast and received more than 50 reports of stagnant water on their roads.
The flood problem on the Gold Coast was the most severe, with precipitation at 325mm at Loders Creek and more than 200mm at Hinterland.
The M1 Freeway in Helensvale is still closed and rescuers are trying to siphon off the floodwaters. Heavy trucks are currently restricted to traffic.
At 6:15 p.m. local time, the Bureau of Meteorology tweeted that "a very dangerous storm and heavy rainfall, possibly dangerous and flash flood of threat`s life would be in place near Comera." "
In the past 12 hours, the Gold Coast has experienced three times the monthly rainfall, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
At the same time, the Queensland Fire Fighting and Emergency Department also warned drivers not to drive on waterlogged roads.
Rain Helps Firefighters Fight Mountain Fire
However, the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) welcomed the rain on the massive blaze, but its warning does not mean the wildfires are over.
"The rain did not douse all the fires, but it certainly slowed them down. I think it has greatly boosted morale. "The RFS deputy director, Rob Rogers, said.
Since Saturday (11),1,500 New State firefighters have put out 49 wildfires with the help of rain measurements. 1,500 firefighters are still battling 75 wildfires,25 of which remain uncontrolled.
The heavy rain eased the terrifying Gospers Mountain mountain fire. The wildfires, which have been burning in Sydney`s north-west since October 26, have burned the size of six Singapores.
However, Rob Taggart, a New State Weather Service forecaster, said "some of the wildfires may have been missed." There was no rainfall in the south coast and in the Snowys. "
