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.
