Australia’s warm and dry winter may be cut short very soon.
A ‘substantial rain event’ is heading towards parts of eastern Australia over the next few days.
Most of NSW, Queensland and parts of Victoria and Tasmania are set to be soaked by up to 80mm of rain, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
Continuing to closely monitor the system that'll bring rain to #NSW this weekend. While there'll be rain in the Nth East it's still too early to safely say what the impacts will be in #drought areas. But as we get closer forecasts will continue to firm up https://t.co/dBZRMkQ7oe pic.twitter.com/QkJSczbt0f
