The trough is forecast to deepen over coming days with more intense storms reaching multiple parts of the state from tomorrow into the weekend.
Despite consecutive days of expected rainfall, not even the maximum amount of rain predicted will be enough to break NSW's longstanding drought. The NSW SES is urging residents in fire affected areas to take care as the risk of flash flooding, falling trees and landslips could increase as wet weather impacts the fire grounds.NSW SES Assistant Commissioner, Paul Bailey is urging residents to prepare for the upcoming wet weather.
"The NSW SES is also asking residents in fire affected areas to watch for possible landslips as the ground and roads can be damaged, therefore creating a higher risk of a potential slip," continued Mr Bailey."People can help prevent storm damage around their properties by trimming back overhanging branches, cleaning gutters and downpipes and securing or putting away loose items around the yard or balcony.
"Areas around the Mornington Peninsula will see many tens of millimetres of rain, damaging winds and large hail is also possible."Queensland will also see rain with areas in and around Brisbane, Darling downs all the way to Mackay expected to accumulate up to 100mm.
No rain up our way either. Forecasters are useless for anyone not in a capital city.
BETTER THAN NOTHING
When you’re in a drought any rain is better than none. The little rain we had in Sydney last weekend has started to turn my dead brown lawn into a not so dead with little shoots of green through it lawn. I might have to mow the damn thing for the first time this summer 😂😂
Of course one down pour won't break years of drought
better then fucking nothing
