As two tropical cyclone warnings are issued up north – Tropical Cyclone Magda and now ex-tropical cyclone Neville – in contrast heat waves and scorching the south of the continent – Sydney’s west experiencing 3 consecutive days of 40C or higher temperatures. Lucky the recent rains have made the forests and fields green again that bushfires are not a major threat.
And then of course snow fell during a brief cold snap that passed over southern Australia namely Victoria and southern NSW producing snow over the highlands of the Snowy Mountains. What a month. Now back to the 40C heat!
Incidently, following the two severe storm events prior to Christmas including the Singleton hailstorm, early January was an active period for severe thunderstorms with a few explosive thunderstorm events intercepted.

Storms and rain look to become widespread throughout the day after some localised heavy rainfall in suburbs of Sydney. Most of the activity seem to be centred on central eastern Queensland which hopefully should extinguish some of those bushfires.
The isolated severe storm that affected Coffs Harbour and Sawtell this morning seem to have been mostly heavy rainfall.

Those images you have show how spectacular and messy the flooding was – certainly a huge damage bill. What is amazing about this even was the widespread nature of the major floods across southeast Queensland and North East NSW region. Certainly the most significant flood event in years for that part fo the world. And what about the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen region – 3 floods in one year! And it si only May!
