    WEATHER UPDATE: SPRING WARMTH

    Spring is ready to warm up. Today we’ve seen the showers roll in across south east Queensland and north east New South Wales.

    WEATHER UPDATE: LOW READY TO INTENSIFY

    There is an upper level cold pool over north west NSW that is going to link up with the surface low sitting off the northern NSW coast. As the two merge the rain will intensify, along with the winds and large seas and swell. There is still the chance of flooding over the northern NSW…

    DRENCHING AT PAN PACS

    The Gold Coast copped a drenching over the last 24 hours. While farmers might like the rain, it was certainly NOT welcome at the new Southport Aquatic Centre, where it wreaked havoc with the Pan Pacifics.
