Tens of thousands of Aussies have had to leave their homes, and the shops have been stripped bare in flood-affected regions as the crisis across several states deepened. Conditions eased yesterday in many areas, but authorities warn the relief will be short-lived with more wet weather set to hit later this week. Federal Emergency Services Minister Murray Watt says the situation in Victoria remains “very serious”, and while floodwaters are receding in many areas, a 2nd flood peak could be on the way with more rain. Australia isn’t the only country currently smashed by unseasonal rainfall… In Nigeria, at least 600 people have died and 1.2 million have been displaced in the West African nation’s worst flooding in a decade. Local authorities say climate change is to blame, and they expect heavy downpours to continue into next month.
