YET more rain has poured down on the Redlands, with roads, backyards and sports fields flooding as more than 200mm bucketed down in some spots over 24 hours.

Weather bureau figures from Carbrook and North Stradbroke Island showed more than 200mm inundating the areas between 9am Monday and 9am Tuesday.

Sandbagging stations are open today at council depots at Cleveland, Dunwich and Russell and Macleay islands.

Flooded roads are closed across the Redlands including Avalon Road at Sheldon, Allan Day Drive at Wellington Point, Pitt and Nelson roads at Wellington Point and Muriel Street at Redland Bay.

Leslie Harrison Dam is at 118 per cent capacity, the highest since Seqwater records began in 2016.

Redlands SES volunteers have been busy over the weekend responding to weather calls, as well as helping police in the search for a missing Cleveland man.

They have also sent a four person crew and vehicle to NSW, where dangerous floodwaters have swept away cars, animals and even houses.

Rain is set to continue throughout Tuesday, with up to 90mm expected to fall.

Conditions are tipped to ease on Wednesday, with up to 15mm expected.

Thursday and Friday will bring a reprieve from the gloomy weather, with sunshine expected and little to no chance of rain.

It comes two months after flash flooding caused by a January downpour swept a car onto a barrier on Springacre Road, Thornlands.
