GREY skies and showers lingered over the south-east across the Easter long weekend and are expected to stay for a few more days.
From Friday to Sunday, the Redlands received more than 40mm of rain.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Lachlan Stoney said the Redlands received most of its rainfall on Saturday afternoon, with 16.6mm falling between 3.30pm and 7.30pm.
It was the wettest day since mid-March when severe storms ripped across the south east, causing power losses and flash flooding in some areas.
Skies cleared on Sunday, with rain holding off until the evening.
Mr Stoney said despite the wet weekend, April rainfall across the south-east coast had been lower than average.
"Every (so often), we get a huge rainfall event in April which skews the average," he said.
Rain was expected to continue throughout the beginning of the week, with crowds at the Redlands Easter Family Festival dampened by a few showers on Monday morning.
"There will be no continuous rain (but) showers will be coming and going," Mr Stoney said.
He said skies could begin to clear later in the week, with chances of rain beginning to reduce in time for Anzac Day.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey urged drivers to take extra caution on the roads with many drivers out and about over the weekend.
"The Easter period often means travelling to unfamiliar locations, and with wet weather predicted across the long weekend, we're urging everyone to take extra care," Mr Bailey said.
Queensland Police Service launched phase 2 of its Easter road safety campaign on Thursday.
On Good Friday, two people were killed and 22 injured in crashes across the state.
"Before you head out onto the road with family and friends, look at the forecast and plan your drive," Mr Bailey said.
"Avoid driving until the weather clears up."
He also urged drivers to keep a safe speed to avoid skidding and aquaplaning, keep a safe distance from the cars in front and avoid sudden braking, accelerating or turning.
"When a crash occurs, families and friends suffer, and the investigations into these terrible crashes are left to the brave emergency workers who wish each visit to one of these scenes will be their last," he said.
Phase two of the Easter road safety campaign will end on Easter Monday.
