With heavy downpours forecast for next three days, floods expected in Australia’s east
Sydney is set to record its wettest year in 164 years as authorities braced for major floods in Australia’s east, with more heavy downpours expected to fall over the next three days.
“That record is likely to fall late Friday night and into Saturday,” Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Jonathan How told Australian Broadcasting Corp. television. It is only the fifth time the country’s largest city has topped 2,000 mm in a year since records began in 1858. With a wild weather system expected to dump heavy rains through the weekend across a wide swathe of Australia’s east, authorities warned Sydney residents to watch for flash flooding and stay away from flooded roads.
Some of the state’s rural inland towns are already flooded, with television footage showing residents moving farm animals to higher grounds and damaged roads.
