More wild weather on the way as Sydney floods
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has warned that more wild weather is on the way, as flooding hits Sydney
One person has died following torrential rain, flash flooding, and damaging winds.
The weather crisis has forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes, with warnings more wild weather is on the way.
The Emergency Services Minister says “this is a life-threatening emergency situation”.
In a matter of 24 hours, there have been 83 flood rescues.
Major roads have been cut off and people are being warned to evacuate before it’s too late.
Experts say the floods have been worsened by climate change and a La Nina weather season.
While the east coast low which sparked the deluge has weakened, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is still forecasting up to 120mm of rain in the harbour city.
The SES is warning residents in low-lying areas near the Hawkesbury River downstream of Wisemans Ferry, north west of Sydney, to evacuate.
Closer to the city, people in some parts of Penrith, North Richmond and Windsor have been warned they may need to leave.
It’s the third time this year many of the areas being inundated.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.
Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.
