Mother of all storms to drench Australia
Words: Elizabeth Green | Animation: Andrew Bedford
Wet and wild weather is expected to rain on the parade of most Australians’ long weekend, with a dangerous band of rain currently moving through the eastern states.
The eastern states can expect a wet end to the week, but there are promising signs that showers will ease by Sunday.
A low-pressure trough is behind the “dangerous” deluge, with several flood and severe weather warnings issued for the Northern Rivers and parts of the Mid North Coast, including Coffs Harbour and Byron Bay.
Meldrum near Coffs Harbour has experienced the highest level of rain so far, with 130mm falling in the town, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
Heavy rain falling on already saturated ground has caused floodwaters to threaten communities from the NSW-Queensland border to Wagga Wagga.
