Australia flights cancelled as bomb cyclone hits New South Wales

NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, JUL 2 – More than 35,000 homes lost power and over 80 flights were canceled as the bomb cyclone brought destructive winds and heavy rain to New South Wales, officials reported.

  • On Tuesday, the powerful `bomb cyclone` struck eastern Australia, cutting power to nearly 30,000 homes and prompting urgent evacuation orders along the coast.
  • Satellite data shows water temperatures 2 to 4 degrees above average off the eastern shore of Australia, reflecting abnormally warm sea surface temperatures that likely fueled the storm’s rapid intensification after severe weather.
  • NSW SES Assistant Commissioner Nicole Hogan ESM warned flash flooding is a high risk, and crews have responded to over 3,400 incidents with disruptions into Thursday morning.
  • Nearly 100 flights were cancelled or delayed at Sydney Airport, and Sydney Trains Chief Executive Matt Longland said `we’ve seen some really significant damages`, warning repairs may take days.
  • With conditions not set to ease until late Thursday, WaterNSW has flagged a likely moderate spill from Warragamba Dam as flood warnings remain for key river systems.
