Parts of Australia’s outback are receiving months’ worth of rain over a couple of days as an unusual and extensive rain event douses what’s typically the dry season.
Southerners hoping to escape the winter chill in Broome have instead been soaked in 30mm of rain in the 24 hours to 9am Tuesday, or the most in a single June day in a decade, according to Weatherzone. Monday’s top temperature was barely above 25C – four degrees cooler than a typical June day in the Kimberley coastal town.
