Victorian Climate Difficulties

  • Wyndham area - over 175 emergency requests

At the height on the previous day, in excess of twenty-eight thousand power users in Victoria were lacking electricity.

Meteorological Predictions

Damp conditions were expected to linger along large portions of eastern Queensland this next several days as a low-pressure trough continued to draw in moisture against the coastal areas.

Tomorrow was forecast to be the heaviest precipitation period, with persistent thunderstorm potential expected across different parts of both regions.

Public health experts alerted that there was an higher risk of thunderstorm-induced asthma across the countryside regions, especially given the ongoing climate situation.
