Time to prepare again
Sydney weather: Up to 500mm of heavy rain, thunderstorms to hit across NSW
After a brief reprieve of sunshine, large parts of NSW and Sydney are set for another battering of “significant” heavy rains.
After a short reprieve from wet weather, the rains are set to lash Sydney and large swathes of NSW once again.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has issued severe weather warnings for people in Metropolitan, Illawarra, South Coast and parts of Hunter, Central Tablelands and Southern Tablelands areas, with heavy rainfall to lash the southern and central NSW regions.
While Sydney residents have woken up to inclement drizzles, the heavy rainfall is forecast to begin from Wednesday afternoon, along with a danger of flash flooding.
BOM senior hydrologist Ailsa Schofield said the wet weather system could result in collective rainfalls across NSW of up to 500mm by the end of the week.
“On Wednesday we might see rainfall total in excess of 100mm,” she told 9 News.
“On Thursday we might see rainfall totals in excess of 200-250mm.
“On Friday we will see higher rainfall totals in excess of 150mm.”
