As Western Australia braces for potential fallout from ex-Tropical Cyclone Lincoln, Sydney remains on alert for another possible thunderstorm, following chaotic weather conditions that struck the city on Monday.
Sydney and parts of Western Australia are on high alert as meteorologists monitor the trajectory of ex-Tropical Cyclone Lincoln and the potential for severe weather events. While Western Australia anticipates the fallout from ex-Cyclone Lincoln’s path, Sydney faces the looming threat of another thunderstorm, following recent disruptions caused by adverse weather conditions.
In Western Australia, ex-Tropical Cyclone Lincoln poses the risk of re-intensification as it traverses towards the coastline, prompting meteorologists to issue severe weather warnings for several districts, including Gregory, Tanami, and Kimberly. The Bureau of Meteorology has also issued a widespread flood watch for northern regions, highlighting the potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding.
Meteorologist Angus Hines underscores the uncertainty surrounding ex-Tropical Cyclone Lincoln’s trajectory, emphasizing the need for vigilance as it approaches Western Australia. While the potential for re-intensification remains, the exact impact on rainfall and flooding is yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, in Sydney, residents remain wary of another potential thunderstorm, following Monday’s chaotic weather that resulted in lightning strikes and transportation disruptions. The city grappled with severe lightning strikes, resulting in injuries to four individuals sheltering under a tree in the Royal Botanic Garden. Train networks experienced disruptions, with the T1 Western and T9 Northern lines temporarily shut down, leaving commuters stranded and inconvenienced.
Sydney Airport also faced operational challenges as one of its runways was struck by lightning, leading to delays and cancellations of departing flights. While the Bureau of Meteorology has not issued fresh warnings comparable to Monday’s severe weather, residents are urged to stay vigilant and monitor updates as conditions evolve.
As both Sydney and Western Australia remain on alert, authorities emphasize preparedness and caution in response to the unpredictable nature of weather patterns. With ongoing monitoring and communication, communities aim to mitigate the potential impact of adverse weather events and ensure the safety of residents and travelers alike.
