Heaviest May rainfall in 82 years recorded in WA town
"Parched areas of southwest WA have finally seen some rain this week, with Wandering recording its highest May rainfall in more than 82 years and the most rainfall the town has seen in 13 months."
Rain and storms spreading across NSW
"A three-day soaking has begun in NSW, with rain and thunderstorms expected to spread across most of the state over the next 72 hours.
An upper-level cut-off low will pass over NSW from west to east between Friday and Sunday. As this upper low crosses NSW, it will interact with moisture-laden air to produce widespread rain and thunderstorms across the state."
