Queensland's drought-hit graziers and farmers west of the Great Dividing Range have little to smile about despite a week's spring rain east of the range.

However, Charleville will get a rare thunderstorm on Tuesday afternoon and further rain was expected in drought-hit Darling Downs farms as the unsettled rain trough moves east.

Most of the properties west of Roma are still drought declared.

While the areas east of the Great Dividing Range have received good soaking rain since Thursday, some areas of outback Queensland received less than 30 millimetres in the past seven days.
