Victoria is preparing for a severe heatwave this weekend while heavy rainfall and severe storms threaten towns in central Queensland.
Victorians have been issued a heatwave warning, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting high temperatures across the state. The heatwave is expected to bring extreme conditions, particularly to northern regions, with temperatures to reach the mid-thirties in the next three days. "So far, a heatwave warning has been issued for Victoria, as both daytime and nighttime temperatures are forecast to be well above the average for this time of year," meteorologist Helen Reid said.
Here are some tips for coping with a heatwave: Across the country in Queensland, multiple flood warnings are in effect due to heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms. On Wednesday night, severe storms hit inland towns on the state's central coast, bringing nearly 100mm of rain in just one hour. Lesdale, located 700km west of Brisbane, received 92mm of rain in just one hour, while nearby Charleville saw 68mm of rainfall.
