The wild weather in Sydney is predicted to ease after almost two weeks of heavy rainfall and wild conditions. Rain is expected on Wednesday and Thursday, with forecasts of up to 0.4 and 5mm respectively, before tapering off.However, the respite could be short lived, with predictions of more wet weather later this year.
The bureau maintained its warning for hazardous surf conditions on Monday, with waves peaking on Sunday at 4.8m at Crowdy Head. The warning was still current across all coastal areas in NSW, with large waves possible again later in the week. Adam Jones, SES spokesperson, said 169 “return with caution” warnings had been issued across the state, adding it was important that residents take the time to assess their homes.
He said the SES had conducted over 7,000 building assessments, and found that 790 were deemed uninhabitable.“These are communities that have been hit in some cases for the third, fourth time,” he said.
