Special update: Heavy rain for Australia next several days

A blocking high pressure zone over the Tasman Sea coupled with low pressure west of Melbourne will encourage wet weather to line up along the south eastern corner of Australia for the next five days ahead.
Rain will be held up through inland parts of VIC and NSW by both the mountains and ranges but also that high pressure zone to the east. ACT is also affected.
Rainfall totals exceed 100mm in some locations, including into the outback.
We also have a special mention of Bathurst with the big race on this weekend - and plenty of weather going on around there!
Full details to Sunday in this special Australia-only update for Tuesday October 4, 2022.

Duncan Dont listen to John we In Australia prefer your forecast to our Aussie Blond ladies.

[@carmellitale-man2671]

Thanks Phillip

The Best weather forecast in AU and NZ....Thanks

[@peterking523]

Your forecast more detailed than the pretty Blond Girls on Aust commercial TV who just look nice and read the Temps only.🎉

[@em945]

Thanks, Phil!
From my understanding, that more heavy purple area is still flooded already from recent rain. What a difference 3 wet years makes.

[@WeatherWatchTV]

Will be very interesting to watch this pan out.

Really appreciate your videos - they were super helpful for our recent NZ trip! In regards to the inland Australia flooding... most of that area is already saturated with many rivers at major flood levels. Dams are full and overflowing. At this time of year these areas would normally be rather dry! Pretty serious situation. Search "NSW weather warnings". Cheers, James

[@WeatherWatchTV]

Thanks heaps James, will be monitoring that closely now. Cheers for the detail! Phil.

Saturation reports from Victoria as well via my uncle. I'm visiting Guyra from the mountains. Everything saturated along the whole way.

yep wet and rain in adelaide but at least it's not cold

[@tonymccarthy6713]

This looks like causing the worst flooding in SE Australia since 1974. Thank you for your analysis.

[@giterdunpete]

oh no

[@danlinds4255]

The inland rivers west of the dividing range are certainly not dry. With forecasted totals this widespread these inland rivers will continue to creep up! Localized flooding is already an issue with some parts of the Murray river being several meters above the riverbank...

[@WeatherWatchTV]

Thanks Dan, was thinking about well inland when I said that, not so much in the populated places - but yes, it's a major prob. Hearing many updates about the Murray - such a big and low lying river, will keep an eye on it very closely now. Cheers for the update.

Hi Phillip l think I will stay indoors awhile

Sounds like smart thinking!! :)

I’m an Aussie and only listen to your forecast Phil, always spot on!! I understand your mainly focused on New Zealand but please don’t forget us in Australia are forecasters are useless!! Thanks!!!

[@politenessman3901]

Honestly, the depressing thing is just how much more useful these reports are than the Aust BoM reports.

[@JudeAussie]

BOM are useless!

Do you think the rain worries would be less if the previous governments respected the land more?

[@johnbeavin9170]

Duncan, I do wish You would concentrate more on New Zealand, though I do understand how Aussie weather controls ours.

[@WeatherWatchTV]

Just don't watch the Aussie videos, John! We made a special update so that NZers wouldn't moan about the content being in the NZ video this time!!

@@WeatherWatchTV I personally like seeing what weather is happening in Oz and how it may affect our weather,. It helps me plan for future boat trips here in NZ. Keep up the good work Duncan.
