Winter is Coming: Chilly day for Sydney, rain pelts eastern seaboard
17:22 AEST Just as we forecast yesterday, a coastal trough has deepened along the NSW and southeast Qld coasts as a low in the Coral Sea continues to inch closer to Qld. The trough has brought some interesting weather to NSW in the past 36 hours or so, particularly along the coastal fringe, giving those New South Welshmen a “Stark” Game of Thrones reminder: winter is coming.
- 11:54 AEST We need to talk about drainage
- 11:48 AEST A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW
- 10:07 AEST Southerly surges across the southeast
- 13:20 AEST Generation gone with the wind
