East Coast Bracing for Wet and Gloomy Weekend
AUSTRALIA, JUL 25 – The Bureau of Meteorology warns some regions may face flooding and hazardous winds while dry areas receive much-needed rain, with up to 21cm of snow reported at Mt Buller.
- A large weather system brought widespread wind, rain, snow, and blizzard conditions across eastern Australia during the weekend of July 26, 2025.
- This system followed months of dry conditions in many regions, prompting warnings due to its extent and intensity, including possible flooding and hazardous winds.
- Key impacts included 21cm of snow at Mt Buller with summit gusts up to 140km/h, 42mm of rain in Tasmania's northeast, and strong damaging wind warnings across several states.
- Senior meteorologist Angus Hines emphasized that the key aspect of the current weather event is the widespread nature of the rainfall rather than the volume in individual locations, while authorities cautioned that heavy rain and reduced visibility would create hazardous driving conditions.
- The weather system was expected to clear by Sunday, easing conditions but causing ongoing monitoring for rivers and travel safety across affected states.
