South Australian towns have been told to expect up to 15 times their monthly rainfall in the coming days, and there are severe weather warnings in place for several states and territories.
In Alice Springs, Northern Territory emergency services have found a body after a search for a 24-year-old man who was swept away while tubing in the swollen Todd River on Thursday.
The Todd began flowing on Thursday for the first time since April after heavy rains dumped more than 100mm in its catchment area. The shallow river bed is generally dry for most, if not all, of the year.
“It’s very unusual to have tropical moisture going right through the country,” Bessard said.
“I think for South Australia it may be the biggest rainfall in 30 years ... In the northern part of South Australia we have had 120mm of rainfall in the past 24 to 48 hours and there is potential to have 50 to 100 more in the next few days.”
