Parts of eastern Australia were under severe weather and flood warnings

Parts of eastern Australia were under severe weather and flood warnings, the country’s meteorologist said on Sunday, months after massive flooding hit the country’s east coast. In March, at least 13 people were killed and tens of thousands evacuated as extreme weather in Queensland and New South Wales submerged town centres, washed away homes and cut power. The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds for parts of south-east Queensland on Sunday, saying damaging gusts with peaks of around 100 km (60 miles) per hour were possible during the day.

“Seek shelter, preferably indoors and never under trees. Watch for downed trees and power lines,” the agency said. Four flood warnings are in effect in the state. In neighboring New South Wales to the south, eight flood warnings were in place and a severe weather warning for damaging surf covered the state’s northern rivers and mid-north coast, areas badly hit by the March weather crisis. The cause of the wild weather was a low pressure system off the state’s northern coast, the meteorologist said. During the crisis in March, military helicopters airlifted stranded people from rooftops, while motorists and animals were rescued from bridges after rising waters inundated surrounding properties.
