“Yay, more rain,” said no one on Australia’s east coast… Still, a cold front is on its way to the nation’s southeast bringing rain, storms and cold temperatures to Victoria, Tassie and NSW tomorrow. The rain will be felt as far north as Queensland over already saturated river catchments – just as thousands have put away the mop. Sydney could cop 100mm of rain from today onwards and Melbourne is expected to plunge to a low of 12C tomorrow, with Hobart and Adelaide hovering around the same temps. Brrr… At the same time, a tropical cyclone has developed off the northern coast of Western Oz. Tropical Cyclone Charlotte is about 840km from Exmouth, and is set to weaken over the ocean – but it is expected to bring rain and wind to the state from Friday.
