Meteorologist Jackson Browne said the wild weather was the result of “two tropical air masses” that are set to collide in the wake of Cyclone Paddy, which formed near Christmas Island.

He said Thursday would be a ‘peak’ day of heavy rains in the eastern parts of the country.

“Widefall is likely to fall from 25 mm to 100 mm and there is a possibility of more thunderstorms,” ​​he said.

‘Precipitation should extend along the east coast of Australia on Friday and conditions will begin to improve for at least most of NSW and Victoria on Saturday.’

For NSW, a Major Flood Alert has been issued for the Lachlan River and Namoi River in the central west of the state over the next 24 hours.

A severe storm will hit Queensland on Thursday with the central part of the state to deal with the brunt of the wild weather.

More flood warnings have been issued across the state, while strong thunderstorms are also forecast in the coming days and there are no signs of sunshine in Sydney next week.

To deal with the wrath of the wild weather, severe storms will hit the central part of the state as well as Queensland on Thursday.

BoM has issued a storm warning for almost the entire state, with no end in sight.

Victoria was also hit by heavy rains as flood warnings were issued for parts of the state’s east while Canberra was also drenched in rain.

Western Australians and Tasmanians across the country will be the only ones who enjoy warm and sunny days for the rest of the week.

Wild season comes after BoM is declared La Nias on Tuesday The incident is going on in the Pacific.

BoM’s Head of Operational Climate Services, Dr Andrew Watkins, said that typically during La Nia events, rainfall becomes concentrated in the western tropical Pacific, causing more than normal rainfall over eastern, northern and central parts of Australia .

Dr Watkins said, “La Nia also increases the likelihood of cooler-than-average day temperatures for large parts of Australia and could increase the number of tropical cyclones.”

‘La Nina is also associated with the first rain of the northern wet season, as we have seen in tropical Australia this year.’

The last significant La Nia was back from 2010-12, which saw widespread flooding in some areas.

In some welcome news, BoM experts do not expect the current La Nia to be as intense as in previous years.
