There is no end to the season of sandbags as extreme weather continues to batter south-east Australia. Towns throughout the central-west region of New South Wales experienced severe flooding, with Forbes recording 118mm of rainfall – its heaviest on record – and the town of Molong completely cut off from its surroundings.
More than 33,000 properties remain without power in South Australia after the weekend’s intense storms and 85 warnings are active in Victoria as river systems respond to heavy rainfall. The wet season is sadly with us for a while longer, as the BoM predicts more flooding over coming weeks, before easing off in January.
