Heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, damaging winds and large hail will wash across eastern Australia this week. But experts say the rainfall will not do much to subdue the bushfire season expected to be the worst since black summer.
Wet weather was expected to move across inland New South Wales and northern Victoria on Tuesday. The states could see rainfall up to 150mm on Wednesday, according to Dean Narramore, a senior meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology.
