Australia flights cancelled as bomb cyclone hits New South Wales
- A rapidly intensifying bomb cyclone swept across New South Wales on Tuesday, causing severe weather and flight cancellations at Sydney Airport.
- The storm developed as a complex, vigorous coastal low distinct from typical East Coast Lows like those in 2007 and 1998, which caused major past damages.
- The system brought over 200mm of rain, wind gusts above 100km/h, power outages affecting over 37,000 homes, flood warnings, and evacuation orders due to coastal erosion.
- Qantas and Virgin Australia cancelled more than 50 domestic flights, Sydney Airport operated on a single runway per safety rules, and authorities advised delaying travel amid ongoing hazardous conditions.
- The storm shifted south towards Sydney and the South Coast and is expected to ease into the Tasman Sea by Thursday, though continued rainfall and winds may affect southern NSW and eastern Victoria.
