Rain is soaking southern parts of South Australia as a low pressure trough crosses the state, with some places already picking up their heaviest rain in over a year. Totals of 10-20mm were a commonplace across districts ranging from the West Coast to the Mount Lofty Ranges, with the Eastern Eyre Peninsula seeing the heaviest falls.

Kimba not far from Cowell received more than its monthly average rainfall in one day with 24mm. This was also the town's heaviest April fall in 13 years.
