Temperatures drop to below zero across South Australia

A massive rain bomb has hit Adelaide, with falls of more than 30mm recorded in parts of the city overnight.

SES crews have attended about a dozen clean-up jobs in the past 12 hours, including trees down at a home in Crafers and Carey Gully.

A tree and power lines are also down at the intersection of Piccadilly Road and Cox Creek Road at Crafers, causing delays.

People are being urged to avoid the area where possible.

Up to 20mm of rain is expected to continue through Saturday morning before weather eases into the afternoon – good news for Crows fans headed to Adelaide Oval for the club’s clash with GWS.
