New South Wales has eight evacuation warnings in place for its central coastal region, including parts of Sydney, with forecasts of more heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding as a second east coast low looms in as many weeks.
The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe weather warning on Monday morning detailing the potential for more heavy falls: “Six-hourly rainfall totals between 70 and 120 mm are possible.”
