Severe weather to hit north Queensland over Anzac Day weekend with milder weather in other states
Most parts of Australia can expect only showers to mar the Anzac Day long weekend, but a severe weather warning has been issued for parts of Queensland’s north tropical coast with rainfall expected to increase over the coming days and a chance of thunderstorms.
More settled conditions are expected across the south-east for the long weekend, with modest rainfall. A partly cloudy, dry and cool weekend is forecast for Melbourne. Showers are expected in Sydney right across the weekend but rainfall totals are not expected to be above 8mm. “The immediate concern is for the risk of flash flooding as we go into the weekend. That rainfall will really ease off in the later part of the weekend,” Bradbury said.Sign up to receive an email with the top stories from Guardian Australia every morning
