Adelaide set for wettest weekend in months in SA deluge

Heavy rain is forecast for parts of South Australia this weekend, including Adelaide, with Sunday in particular likely to be by far the wettest day of 2026 to date for the SA capital.

Sydney flash flooding after 100 mm in under three hours

Heavy rain and thunderstorms inundated parts of Sydney, the Illawarra and the Central Coast over the last 24 hours, with locally intense falls causing flash flooding in some areas.

Eastern Australia perfectly positioned for total lunar eclipse next week

A total lunar eclipse will be visible from most of Australia next week on the night of Tuesday, March 3, with eastern Australia in the best position to witness the 'blood moon’ in its entirety.

Bucketing down in Birdsville and Betoota

The outback deluge continues, with the heaviest overnight falls occurring in the area around the town of Birdsville in far southwest Queensland

It’s a very rare day indeed when one of the wettest locations anywhere in Queensland is Birdsville, which sits at the eastern edge of the Simpson Desert.
