A Huge [Redacted] Of Rain Is Coming For Eastern Aus And [Insert Graphic Sex Joke Here]

Keep up those swimming lessons folks because it looks like we’re about to get pummeled with even more rain. Looks like those brief few days of sun in Sydney were all just a trap to lure us into a false sense of security. I would cry but I can’t bear to see more water falling in this country. According to the Binches of Meteorology (BoM) there’s a low-pressure system building up in the middle of the country and it’s going to move eastward. This means wild watery lashings for NSW, Vic, SA and Qld. Please, Miss La Niña, give us a break!! I am not a damn fish! Per BoM, we should be feeling the full wrath of the watery whip by Wednesday evening. Most areas will receive 25-50mm of rain by the time it’s over, while others will cop 100mm. Hell, even Tassie is expected to cop a drenching by Friday. Nobody is safe (but the west, of course). At least we can all enjoy some semblance of a weekend, as the rain should subside somewhat by Saturday or Sunday. “NSW and Queensland won’t be on par with what’s happened in Victoria but for individual towns and people it will be quite significant,” Meteorologist told . “In Victoria and Tasmania, the heavy rain largely occurred in a short period of 36 hours. The rain that’s coming this week will be spread over multiple days. “When it’s not quite as short and sharp, the rivers don’t respond as significantly.” While this rain band isn’t expected to hit hard in areas that are already flood-affected, it’s still not good news. Dry skies are the only thing we need right now. Victorians, if you’re worried about flooding in your area, on council websites. For example, inner-north Melbourne’s Merri-Bek Council has an  of the local government area that shows exactly which streets could flood based on location and drainage in the area. As always, stay safe out there folks and be sure to avoid all treacherous journeys in vehicles (or on foot) when the rain is at its worst.
