Days of rain forecast for two states
- A weather system is bringing rain and strong winds to eastern Australian states around May 15, with showers continuing into next week.
- This unsettled weather results from low pressure troughs forming offshore and inland along the east coast, causing prolonged rainfall and gusty winds.
- Parts of NSW, including the Hunter region, face heavy rainfall up to 40mm and damaging winds over 90km/h, while southeast Queensland expects moderate rainfall with gusts up to 70–90km/h.
- Meteorologist Helen Reid warned that heavy rainfall is expected in Maitland and across the Hunter region, urging residents to be ready for potential flooding as dams near full capacity and the SES issues alerts.
- The ongoing wet conditions suggest heightened flood risk and hazardous surf warnings, prompting emergency services to remain vigilant and advise residents to prepare for further rain and strong winds.
