NSW weather map: which parts of state are being hit by flood and rain – and what areas are at flooding risk?

New South Wales is currently experiencing severe weather conditions, characterized by destructive winds and heavy rainfall impacting significant portions of its coastline. In particular, some regions have recorded over 100mm of rain as a vigorous coastal low pressure system develops offshore. This weather event has raised concerns about flooding, with numerous areas marked as either affected or at risk of flooding due to the persistent storm conditions. The Bureau of Meteorology has identified this system as a notable coastal low pressure system accompanied by an embedded trough, suggesting a prolonged period of adverse weather for the state.

To provide a clearer picture of the situation, meteorological data has been compiled into rainfall maps that illustrate the extent of the rainfall over the past week. These maps indicate areas of significant rainfall, with darker shades of purple denoting higher levels of precipitation. Additionally, satellite imagery from the Bureau of Meteorology shows the storm's development off the east coast of Australia, further emphasizing the potential for continued heavy rainfall and flooding in the coming days. As communities prepare for the possibility of flooding, officials are monitoring the situation closely and advising residents in vulnerable areas to stay informed about the weather updates and potential evacuation measures.
