Heavy rainfall has led to rising rivers and a major flood warning in Victoria’s Gippsland region.

Up to 90 millimetres of rain fell in the Latrobe River catchment in the 24 hours to 4am on Monday, with another 10-20 millimetres forecast for the rest of the day.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a warning for the Moe River at Darnum, east of Warragul, in Victoria’s east, after it exceeded the major flood level early on Monday.
