Finally some significant rainfall across the Sydney region and south along the coast. Some heavy falls occurred in the parched South Coast where water restrictions are about to be issued.
The rain began overnight Friday as thunderstorms streamed in from the northwest. Some hailstorms amongst the many cells that developed and rapidly drifted towards the coast. Most of the more consistent rainfall however occurred on 3rd October. Models seem to indicate a wet pattern and relatively cooler weather at least for the first part of October.
Meanwhile, in contrast, bushfires and heat waves conditions persist in Queensland and parts of northern NSW.

Michael,
As the title says, I am astounded that we have lost whole towns and literally hundreds of homes in this disaster! 
I am shell shocked – and there seems to be more bad news on the way. I have heard information that suggests the toll could top 300 with another town just being discovered. At this time, the toll stands at 181 dead and many injured. A scene of chaos people attempting to escape the inferno. I have never seen a pyrocumulonimbus as massive as this one above the fire plumes on this devastating day.
Amongst all of this confusion, there are floods and disaster in far north Queensland in Ingham who is expecting a third flood peak, and then I got the hailstorm yesterday thanks to you and your quick thinking! I tell you I had to turn around very quickly to do this and that is what allowed me to get the hailstorm. Here is a couple of images of the hailstones:
