Record-breaking rain has fallen in northern New South Wales as emergency services prepare for further falls in an already soaked catchment.

On Monday, Evans Head broke the daily record for August with 157mm, the highest August daily rainfall in 28 years, according to meteorologist Jiwon Park from the Bureau of Meteorology.

"This event so far has brought more than 200mm in several stations in the northern rivers," he said.

"Goonengerry received more than 247mm in two days."

A coastal trough is expected to extend from Queensland to the NSW north coast on Tuesday evening and the SES is warning the state's north to be prepared as further rain begins to fall.

"We are expecting another rain band to come through with higher flood warnings and higher rainfall totals, so we could expect more than 100mm over the next 24 to 48 hours," NSW SES Superintendent Scott Mclennan said.
