Urgent Flood Warnings Are In Place Across Australia, So Here’s Your State-By-State Storm Breakdown

It’s not just New South Wales getting dripped on this La Niña season, five states face emergency flood warnings as heavy rain is forecast to drench millions of us most of this week. Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and yes, NSW have all been told to brace for flash flooding on Monday, Tuesday and potentially into the second half of the week. The Bureau of Meteorology said it looked like two wet weather systems would collide would and bring “heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding, damaging winds and possibly large hail” across the eastern half of the country. Fun. That being said, the worst of the storms is in fact expected over NSW as Lismore residents prepare for more flooding. Here’s your state-by-state breakdown.

NSW

Pretty much the entire state is going to be lashed by rain as these two wet weather systems, one coming from SA and one from New Zealand, converge right above us. On Monday morning there were more than 140 flood warnings across the state and authorities have warned of a “very dangerous 48 hours”. “What we are currently experiencing is more flood threats in more communities and locations than at any other time this year,” NSW Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke

record-breaking floods in February and March

Victoria

Absolutely awesome scenes out in Echuca East. This house is on the other side of the new levee and it’s surrounded by floodwater. The residents are DJs, they have the decks out and are pumping music for the neighbourhood. You absolutely love to see it! #vicfloods pic.twitter.com/Tz1EROEaUA

Queensland

South Australia

SA copped a lot of rain on Sunday too and on Monday the BoM issued flood warnings for the Light and Wakefield rivers. But that weather system’s moving north-west to NSW, so only about 4mm of rain are predicted for Adelaide throughout Monday.

Tasmania

About 45mm of rain fell in some parts of Tassie on Sunday and flood alerts remain in place for residents near the Macquarie, Meander, North and South Esk rivers on Monday morning. But like the system over SA, the system over Tas is headed for Vic and NSW on Monday so the risk to the state is easing.
