The dreary weather is here to stay. Here's what Sydneysiders can expect over the coming week.
A week of heavy rainfall is predicted for northern Sydney, with severe weather warnings issued for parts of the NSW coast. Sydney residents can expect to be drenched by up to 100mm of rain by the week's end, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. It follows a 96mm downpour over the last 24 hours across the state.
The NSW State Emergency Service has warned residents north of Sydney, from Gosford to Forster to anticipate severe weather and monitor conditions. Flash flooding is possible due to the persistent rainfall forecast for Bateau Bay, Corlette, Gorokan, Kanwal, Salamander Bay, and Tuggerwong. Wild weather battered NSW as recently as last month, with Penrith recording five times the month's average in 48 hours . Residents are urged to stay across any weather updates on the NSW SES website.
