Fierce downpours forecast for 80 per cent of Australia
Fierce downpours have been forecast for 80 per cent of Australia, with much-needed rain expected in some of the most drought-stricken parts of the country.
Storm and shower events are expected to provide relief in some of the most-parched areas in New South Wales and Queensland. But there’s a catch.

Weatherzone predicts that not all parts of the country will get the much-needed rain, and some of the driest parts will miss out altogether.
Isolated storms are set to cover all the east coast over the weekend stretching from Tasmania to Queensland, with isolated falls of up to 50mm expected in some parts of inland New South Wales.
Weatherzone meteorologist Tom Hough said the rain should continue well into next week.
“That will be in the next week or so with varying degrees of rainfall,” said Mr Hough.
“The whole of all of Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia should get some rain.”
While most of the rain will be falling on the east coast, parts of the Northern Territory and Western Australia should also expect showers over the next eight days.
