More grim news after city cops drenching
Those in the Harbour City can expect a thunderstorm on the coast and up to 15mm of rain on Monday.
This comes after more than 40mm of rain fell across the city at the weekend.
The Bureau of Meteorology rain gauge at Sydney Airport recorded 25.2mm in the 24 hours to 9am on Sunday, and another 15.6mm since.
The rain stretched to Bellambi near Wollongong on Sunday night, with 14.5mm falling between 6pm and 10pm.
Following Monday's showers, Sydney is forecast to potentially see a shower or two on Tuesday and Wednesday, with steady maximum temperatures in the high-teens.
The rains are expected to move inland, hitting Wagga Wagga at the end of the week before clear skies plunge the inland city into frost on Sunday.
Sheep graziers in the NSW Snowy Mountains can expect frost and dangerous conditions for animals on Tuesday, the Bureau says.
Melbourne could see up to 10mm of rain on both Tuesday and Friday. Canberrans will wake to frosts of -1°C on both those days as well, the forecast predicts.
Brisbane is forecast for a mostly sunny week, while Perth could see up to 25mm of rain across Wednesday and Thursday. Adelaide and Hobart are in for drizzly weeks, while Darwin's dry season proves true to form.
The Bureau is predicting a wetter than usual spring, with above average and potentially record-breaking rainfall for most of the eastern two-thirds of the country between August and November.
'Daytime temperatures for August to October are likely to be above average for northern, western, and southeastern Australia, with below-average daytime temperatures likely for the interior and some eastern parts of the country,' senior climatologist Lynette Bettio told NewsWire this week.
'This is consistent with the wetter-than-average forecasts and associated cloud cover,' Dr Bettio said.
'Night-time temperatures are very likely to be above average for most of Australia.'

London set for sweltering 34C heatwave today as experts warn of a water shortage
London is set for a return to sweltering temperatures this week with the capital's fourth heatwave of the summer. Parts of west London will see some of the hottest weather in the country on Tuesday, with Heathrow forecast to bask in 34C heat. The area saw the highest temperature in the UK on Monday with 31.9C. On Wednesday, parts of England could see 33C and 34C temperatures, including Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire and East Anglia. Thursday may see 29C to 30C in London and East Anglia. An amber heat health warning is in place for London from 9am on Tuesday to 6pm on Wednesday, along with parts of the midlands and the south east. Yellow heat health warnings are in place for the rest of England. The agency has warned of significant impacts across health and social care services due to the high temperatures, including the potential for a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions. An official UK heatwave takes place when a location records at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold. This varies across the country and in London, that temperature is 28C. It comes as experts warn England is facing 'nationally significant' water shortfalls despite rain in July, as the country faces more hot, dry conditions. The national drought group, which includes the Met Office, regulators, government, water companies and other organisations, has met as five areas of the country remain in drought, with six more in prolonged dry weather status. England is seeing widespread environmental and agricultural impacts from the lack of water, which is hitting crop yields, reducing feed for livestock, damaging wetlands and river wildlife, and increasing wildfires, the group said. Experts warn climate change is driving more extreme weather conditions in the UK, worsening drought and dry spells, and making heatwaves more frequent and severe. Despite unsettled weather in July with many places seeing heavy rain or showers, it was still the fifth warmest on record.

Heat and humidity return to Philadelphia area, pop-up storms possible mid-week. See the weather forecast.
After a relatively cool start to August, summer air is returning to the Philadelphia area, which includes both heat and humidity. Tuesday will be hot but not extreme — upper 80s to low 90s for most, cooler near the coast. Humidity will be noticeable, but heat index values should stay just shy of advisory levels. Wednesday looks about the same, and we could see a couple of pop-up storms in the afternoon, but many areas will get little to no rain. Currently the region is in the general thunderstorms risk with the most likely timeframe for any storms being the afternoon and evening, however the severe weather risk right now remains fairly low. By Thursday, a weak cold front slips in, bringing just a slight chance for a shower or storm. Highs will be near 90 degrees again, with sticky dew points early in the day before they start to drop from northwest to southeast. Friday into the weekend, that front may stall or fall apart. We could get a touch less humidity, but it'll still feel summery with highs in the low 90s. Rain chances stay low, and there's no sign of any extreme heat. In the tropics, we are watching the newest named storm, Tropical Storm Erin, currently with sustained winds of 45 mph, heading west at 22 mph. Forecast models continue the westerly track toward the Caribbean and Gulf but eventually have the storm shifting north toward the Bahamas. It bears watching closely as it is likely to become a major hurricane, and the path could potentially shift back toward the U.S. At this point, that isn't expected, but it should be watched very closely. As of now, Erin is roughly 3,000 miles away from the Mid-Atlantic seaboard. Storms that develop in this region, on average, take approximately 10 to 12 days after forming to reach our shores. Your NEXT Weather team will have daily updates on this storm. Tuesday: Mostly sunny. High 90, Low 68. Wednesday: Stray p.m. storm. High 90, Low 73. Thursday: Humid, p.m. storm. High 92, Low 74.
