Millions Brace for Wild Weather as East Coast Low Develops
NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, JUN 29 – A deepening low-pressure system will bring up to 400mm of rain, damaging winds up to 125 km/h, and hazardous surf causing coastal erosion across eastern New South Wales, officials said.
- On June 30, the Bureau of Meteorology warned residents that a system will “drench and batter” Australia's east coast.
- On June 30, the system's central pressure rapidly dropped from about 1015 hPa to 993 hPa, classifying it as a bombing low, due to a fall over 20 hPa in 24 hours.
- Forecasts predict 150–250mm of rain south of Port Macquarie, gusts over 100 km/h, and waves reaching 11–13 metres within 48 hours.
- NSW SES pre-deployed extra assets and issued flood watches for Illawarra, with Acting Assistant Commissioner Allison Flaxman urging immediate preparation due to property damage risks.
- The first east coast low in three years may undergo a Fujiwhara Effect, with climate research projecting fewer but more potent events under climate change.
