Australia's south-east braces for heavy rain and storms

Original: "BoM expects 30 to 50mm of rain to fall in Melbourne over coming days, with showers and storms also likely for Canberra

The Bureau of Meteorology expects 30 to 50mm of rain to fall in Melbourne over the coming days, with showers and storms also forecast for Canberra and Sydney on Saturday. Parts of Victoria could see three months' worth of rain in a short period as a storm system moves across Australia's south-east, raising concerns about localised flooding.

Why now: An unusual weather event bringing months' worth of rain in days is threatening flooding in major Australian cities.
