We’re not talking about skipping the booze, but good luck if you are… After a June dry spell as La Niña said ‘adiós’, a pair of “intense” rain events are set to drench much of the country over the coming days. Parts of northern Oz – amid its dry season – are set to receive record-breaking rain from today, with the deluge moving through the Top End before hammering eastern Queensland. And NSW’s east coast is set to get up to 300mm of rain between now and early next week – which is wet. Torrential downpours are expected to cause more flooding in already sodden parts of southeast Queensland, the Sydney and Illawarra region, and NSW’s South Coast likely to be the hardest hit. And to top it all off, the weather bureau has forecasted above-average monthly rainfall. We won’t say cheers to that…
