British expat reveals shock at Sydney’s rainy weather​

One furious UK expat now living in Sydney has warned his followers back home of one particularly frustrating fact about Australia.

Each year thousands of waterlogged Brits relocate to Australia in hopes of boosting their vitamin D intake and tanning on sun-drenched beaches.
However, the grass is not always greener as hapless UK expat Josh McCallion has discovered.

Josh, who now lives in Sydney, has briefed his followers on the unbelievable amount of rainfall he has experienced in his new city.

Since 2022, much of Australia has experienced record-breaking rainfall, leaving many newcomers taken aback.

“No one tells you this before moving to Australia,” Josh said in a video posted to Instagram.

“I am from the UK, known for terrible weather, and I have never experienced rain like I have since moving to Sydney. Every single time it rains, it’s a downpour. The raindrops hit you and it’s almost like you’re being shot, honestly.

“I’m going to the gym and it’s 400m away. It’s too wet for me to want to take my bike and I can’t walk in this, it’s ridiculous. So I’m catching the bus.”

Josh’s remarks sparked a debate among fellow expats and locals over which is worse: the heavy Australian rain or the more constant light drizzle typical of the UK.

Senior meteorologist Dean Narramore said rain is increasing across inland parts of NSW and Queensland and would become more widespread over the coming days as weather systems combine.

“That is two to three days of rainfall in areas that are already wet and saturated,” he said.

BOM forecasts up to 100mm of rain in large parts of NSW, and more rainfall to hit coastal areas.

“This is going to fall on already saturated soils, particularly in parts of NSW,” Mr Narramore said.
