Wild weather that battered southeast Qld and northern NSW is making its way to Sydney, with flash flooding, storms and intense rainfall to hit the area.
A severe weather warning is in place for much of NSW’s east coast, including Sydney, as the weather system that devastated northern parts of the state and Queensland makes its way south.
At this stage, the system is expected to hit the central and southeastern NSW districts on Tuesday night but the exact timing or areas that will see the most significant impacts is still unclear. Senior BOM Meteorologist, Dean Narramore, officials weren’t expecting widespread rain across northern NSW over the next few days, which is good news for flood impacted areas.
Minister for Emergency Services, Steph Cook, said NSW has “never seen floods like this” in the northern parts of the state. Lismore and surrounding areas were hit hard by flash flooding on Monday, with 701mm of rain dumped on nearby Rosebank in just 24 hours. “You should immediately move to the highest safe place now, such as higher ground or inside a sturdy multistorey building to upper levels as high above water levels as possible. Do not leave your location unless it is safe to do so.”
