“Severe Thunderstorms, Heavy Rain and Flash Flooding Forecast Across Australia” — what this page in the network covers. Severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are set to sweep across much of Australia this weekend, with Queensland, Victoria and South Australia facing the brunt on Saturday before the system moves into New South Wales and Tasmania on Sunday. The Bureau of Meteorology has issued nine flood warnings for south Queensland as of Saturday morning, where already saturated catchments from days of deluge have prompted hundreds of State Emergency Service callouts and forced multiple school closures.

The weather system underscores the heightened flood risk across eastern and southern Australia, with authorities urging residents to monitor warnings and avoid driving through floodwaters.
