'Things may deteriorate': More heavy rain for Sydney as largest floods in years surround city
An east coast low bearing down on Sydney overnight is forecast to drive further heavy rainfall on an already saturated catchment, leading to major floods on the Hawkesbury, Nepean, and Colo rivers.Rain is expected to ease on Tuesday, however the floodwaters may remain high"Conditions are likely to worsen before they get better," said Andrew Edmunds, a spokesperson for the New South Wales State Emergency Service .
Floods are likely to exceed some flood levels reached in the three recent major Hawkesbury flood events since March 2021. However, flooding is not the only hazard the Sydney region is facing, according the Bureau of Meteorology."We're already seeing some pretty strong winds developing along the Sydney coasts of around 70 to 80 kilometres an hour.A damaging surf warning is also in place, with waves around five metres coinciding with high tides tonight, leading to beach erosion."New South Wales, you've been through this before.
