Jane Golding was asked if the rain was enough to be considered drought-breaking. The short answer is: not yet.
We have seen some good falls on the western side of the divide as well … We have heard that it’s very welcome out that way.
Some locations have seen upwards of 100mm over the past few days and more rain than they have seen in quite a few years – four or five years …

The BoM’s Jane Golding also said the risk of coastal erosion would continue tomorrow, with another high tide forecast. Sydney has experienced king tides and swells of 5m for two days, causing coastal inundation and erosion.
Tomorrow’s high tide could cause further inundation and localised flooding, she says.
Across the weekend we’ve had people driving into, walking into flooded roadways and water courses which has required rescue.
We’ve had people enter surf where it’s been unsafe and had to be rescued from that, and also drains.
