Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Urgent warning issued
Rain has already set in for much of NSW, southern Queensland and part of Victoria. Up to 100mm of rain will soak some regions by Sunday, when a low pressure system will hit the NSW coast between Sydney and Port Macquarie.
'Intense rain and damaging winds will hit eastern NSW early next week, with flooding likely in some parts of the state,' Weatherzone's Ben Domensino said.
Heavy rains, damaging winds and flash flooding could develop into early next week as temperatures plunge.
'The coastal low will be dragging the cold wind over the coast,' the Bureau of Meteorology's Edward Medlock said.
He said the system would 'linger 'over the NSW coast for days.
'A big wad of cold air ends up sitting over the state, as that makes its approach to the coast and that low pressure starts developing over the ocean, it's going to become an extended period of prolonged rain.'
He said there is an 'intensity aspect' related to the weather system.
Bureau colleague Miriam Bradbury said the rain on Friday will be concentrated in south-east Queensland and pushing down into NSW.
'In Queensland is we are going to see a gradual easing trend through Saturday afternoon and Sunday in particular, with a much dryer end to the weekend.
'But is a different story for NSW where the wet weather is likely to continue into early next week with the new system on Sunday.'
The Bureau said there could be widespread rainfall totals of 50 to 80mm over Monday. The Sydney, Hunter and Mid North Coastal regions are expected to bear the brunt of it.
Gusty southerly winds will hit the coastal regions, he warned, as stronger winds buffer the ranges and by the end of next week much of NSW is expected to have been drenched.

Aussies brace for a cold and wet weekend as mind-blowing map captures huge 3,000km weather system stretching across the country
Aussies have been warned to brace for a wet and cold weekend as a massive 3,000km-long cloud band moves across the country. Weatherzone meteorologist Anthony Sharwood explained the band, extending from the Indian Ocean to Australia's interior, will trigger inclement weather as it creeps eastward. 'As we head towards the end of the working week and into the weekend, we can expect two main effects,' he said. 'Cooler daytime temperatures at many inland locations due to cloud cover preventing daytime warming, even if little or no rain falls. 'Enhanced rainfall potential is the other likely effect. As the stream of tropical moisture shifts further east, it will fuel rainfall over parts of Queensland and NSW. 'An injection of moisture from the Coral Sea will also contribute to the rain in eastern Australia, with another multi-day burst of persistent showers on its way for the east coast.' The tail end of the system had reached the eastern states by Wednesday afternoon, but the rain isn't expected to begin in Queensland and northern NSW until Friday as as the cloud band clashes with a coastal low-pressure system. Wet weather is forecast to intensify on Saturday with Central Queensland expected to bear the brunt of the rain. Areas between Yeppoon and Maryborough could see up to 300mm. Fortunately, the rain is forecast to rapidly ease on Sunday. High pressure over Australia's south-east is expected to bring mostly dry conditions, but another system in the country's west is set to bring rain. Tropical moisture is forecast to trigger rain over WA's south-west, with up to 50mm expected to fall in areas between Perth and Albany. Sydney Friday: Partly cloudy.

Bizarre plan to make Aussie city switch to the Aboriginal calendar and have SIX seasons: 'It makes sense'
The Lord Mayor of one of Australia's biggest cities wants to switch to a six-season Indigenous calendar, claiming it is more accurate than the four-season version. Melbourne Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece said adding two extra seasons would be more representative of the city's weather than the current Northern European model. 'In the Wurundjeri calendar, there were six seasons in the year. It was a wet summer and a dry summer,' Mr Reece told 3AW. 'A wet winter and a dry winter. And when you think about it, it makes sense. 'But we have gone and superimposed the four seasons essentially from Northern Europe here in Melbourne. 'They don't really match up with the weather patterns that we experience over the 12 months.' The idea was brought up at the Melbourne 2050 Summit, hosted in May, where around 1,000 people discussed the city's future. Mr Reece, who was only elected Lord Mayor in 2024, said it was logical to have a system created by Indigenous people. 'This is one of those things where a bit of First Nations knowledge appears to make a bit more sense,' he said. 'Literally, wattle season starts and that week you look around Melbourne and all of the wattle trees have turned fluorescent yellow, and it's beautiful. 'Aboriginal people who lived here for tens of thousands of years, in their calendar, had six seasons here in Melbourne and when you actually look at the calendar and the seasons you actually realise hey that actually does line up.' Many Aussies poked fun at the Lord Mayor's proposal. 'We should all be able to adopt and identify with as many seasons, months of the year and days of the week as we feel like. Just like our pronouns,' one wrote online. 'Melbourne has really lost the plot. This is complete nonsense,' another said. The idea of changing the number of seasons in Australia isn't new. In 2013, Dr Tim Entwisle, at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens, told National Geographic Magazine that 'four seasons just don't make sense'. 'When Europeans arrived in Australia, they brought a lot of cultural baggage, including a seasonal system from the temperate Northern Hemisphere,' he said. Australia's weather is very different to Northern Europe's, with some regions experiencing high rainfall for several months of the year, followed by long, dry periods. Dr Entwisle developed his own five-season model for Australia's central east. He said spring should begin a month early when native plants flower and last just two months instead of the usual three. It would then be followed by two-month-long 'sprummer', a four-month-long summer starting in December, before autumn sets in. He also agreed that indigenous calendars did a much better job at reflecting Australia's climate than the inherited European model.

Tropical Storm Ivo forms in the eastern Pacific and could impact coastal Mexico, forecasters say
Tropical Storm Ivo formed Wednesday in the eastern Pacific Ocean and was expected to bring rain and rough surf to parts of Mexico 's southwest coast, forecasters said. Ivo had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and was centered about 195 miles (310 kilometers) south-southeast of Acapulco, according to the National Hurricane Center based in Miami. Forecasters said Ivo is expected to be near hurricane strength by the end of the week as it spends a few days moving offshore, and generally parallel to the coast, before turning west away from land. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect as Ivo moves west-northwest at 22 mph (35 kph). But large ocean swells kicked up by Ivo could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents, the hurricane center said. The storm also threatened flash flooding and was expected to dump 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) of rain with isolated totals of up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) in spots around parts of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan and southwestern portions of Oaxaca through Saturday. Ivo was the second tropical storm in the eastern Pacific, joining Tropical Storm Henriette. On Wednesday, Henriette had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) and was located 1,555 miles (2,505 kilometers) east of Hilo, Hawaii, and moving west. Little change in strength was expected over the next 48 hours, the hurricane center said. In the Atlantic, Dexter remained a tropical storm but was forecast to become a powerful extra-tropical cyclone as it moves over open water. On Wednesday afternoon, Dexter was centered about 490 miles (790 kilometers) south-southwest of Newfoundland, Canada, and moving to the east-northeast at 16 mph (26 kph) far from land.
