YESTERDAY it bucketed down in the north – today it is southern parts of Sydney experiencing a torrential downpour.
More than 80mm of rain has fallen at Observatory Hill since the downpour began at 7am yesterday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
Sydney’s Sutherland Shire is now being hit by the deluge, which is forming off the coast and moving inland.
Traffic was gridlocked all day yesterday around the metropolitan area and today is no different.
Flash flooding has caused extensive delays on Queens Rd, Five Dock.
There are also a number of accidents around the city and surrounding suburbs.
