A southerly buster will push up the east coast, reaching the Illawarra, Sydney and Hunter districts on Tuesday afternoon and evening. This will see temperatures cool for NSW on Wednesday “but still several degrees above average for large parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory, with heatwave conditions continuing through these areas”, Hines said.
There are more evening showers and storms on the way for the rain-soaked region, with widespread areas of rain expected south of Mackay, and a risk of severe thunderstorms that could lead to flash flooding between Yeppoon and Brisbane.This comes after temperatures reached into the 40s across large parts of the eastern states on Monday – “which is more than 10C above average for December for most areas”, the Bom said.
