Not again! BoM issues Flood warning for Qld and NSW.

"A major rain event will engulf most of eastern Australia during the next 48 hours, prompting the Bureau of Meteorology to issue flood watches from southern Queensland to the NSW South Coast.

"Greater Sydney could be soaked by up to 200mm from late Thursday to early Saturday, potentially leading to major flooding along the Hawkesbury-Nepean River, while Brisbane and Canberra also face the prospect of heavy rain."

The really odd thing is that we're supposed to be in an El Niño phase, which should mean South America gets a lot of rainfall, but that it's very dry here in the western Pacific. Instead we've ended up with a year just as wet as during the last La Niña event.
