Don't expect the rain to let up anytime soon in New South Wales. According to the latest forecast, we're in for a heavy downpour this weekend that will exceed the usual amount of rainfall for this time of year.
If you've been keeping track, you'll know that it's been raining every day in Sydney this month. In fact, the city has already received its entire average rainfall for May in just six days. And if you're wondering when we can expect a break from the wet weather, the meteorologists have some answers for you.
The Bureau of Meteorology's seven-day forecast for NSW shows that there's a chance of showers all along the coast until Monday, May 16. The heaviest showers are expected to hit this weekend in Sydney, as well as in the NSW Riverina and south coast regions.
On Saturday, a large rain system will cover most of the state, with the heaviest rainfall predicted for the south coast and central west areas. In Sydney, we could be looking at up to 150 mm of rain this weekend.
According to the experts at Weatherzone, this is just the beginning. They're predicting another round of widespread rain over the next few days, which will only add to the already saturated catchments. This could cause flooding in some areas that are already struggling with excess water.
In addition to the heavy rain, there's also a risk of severe thunderstorms and flooding. The Illawarra, South Coast, Southern Tablelands, and Snowy Mountains Forecast Districts are all under a severe weather warning. And to make matters worse, flood warnings have already been issued for Tuggerah Lake and the Warrego River.
To top it all off, a strong wind warning has been put in place for the Byron Coast. So if you're in any of these areas, make sure to stay safe and be prepared for some wild weather in the coming days.
