Heavy rainfall, large hailstones and damaging winds are coming for Sydney and surrounding areas, as well as the Northern Rivers, the Bureau of Meteorology said on Sunday. Residents are being warned to prepare for severe thunderstorms, which could lead to flash floods in some areas. It comes as a wet “unstable air mass, supported by an upper trough” moves across the eastern parts of NSW.
Cars should be moved under cover or away from trees, loose items around properties should be secured, and computers and appliances should be unplugged where possible, the State Emergency Service warned. “Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall,” it said. The SES also shared safety advice relating to the dangers of power lines in a storm. ”Keep at least 8m away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences,” it said.
