Heavy rainfall and flooding in New South Wales

Overview

Widespread heavy rainfall and flooding have impacted various regions in New South Wales. Initially, the NSW State Emergency Service responded to over 274 incidents, particularly on the South Coast, where flooding trapped approximately 40 vehicles on the Princes Highway and stranded over 100 people at a golf club. Forecasts for that period indicated potential rainfall of up to 200mm in isolated areas.

Following these events, weather alerts shifted toward the Riverina region. The Bureau of Meteorology predicted heavy rain and thunderstorms for Wagga, leading the NSW State Emergency Service to issue warnings for possible minor flooding from the Tumut River in Tumut. Meteorologists noted that warmer sea surface temperatures in the Tasman Sea could continue to cause variable weather, including the potential for flash flooding and damaging winds.
