New South Wales expected to be drenched by sustained rainfall, with potential flooding and 14-day rain streak on the horizon​

By meteorologist Tom Saunders​

A sustained rain event is intensifying across New South Wales, raising the risk of flooding around Sydney and the Illawarra this weekend. :(

Inland parts of the state can also expect widespread rain during the next 48 hours, starting in the west on Friday, and then shifting to the slopes and ranges on Saturday.

Following the weekend drenching, the seemingly endless coastal wet spell is likely to persist through next week and is likely to lift Sydney's May rain total to well over 200 millimetres for the second consecutive month.

When will the endless rain finally clear?​

The run of showery days will continue along the NSW coastline from Monday to Wednesday, before another area of rain possibly arrives from the west from around Thursday.

Some modelling is even hinting at another blocking high near Tasmania through the second half of next week, a scenario that could prolong the stream of onshore winds and showers into the middle of May.

It is not inconceivable that Sydney's run of rainy days could exceed 14, the longest wet streak since early 2022 when 17 consecutive days had measurable rain – but still well short of Sydney's longest-ever wet spell of 29 days back in early 1891.

However, if we consider a wet day to require at least 1mm of rain, the record of 16 days from 1943 and 2022 could be under threat.
