Australia weather: Forecasters warm of ‘big storm and rain event’ set to hit

Forecasters are warning of a “big storm and rain event” approaching that could stretch almost the length of the east coast. “There are early signs of a big rain and storm event with some forecast models indicating a deepening low pressure system for somewhere in southern Queensland or Northern or eastern New South Wales,” said a meteorologist. Perth is in the grips of a series of scorching days dipping into a heatwave, but for the southeast the temperatures are set to tumble, summer snow is even possible.
