Forecasters are warning there’s a high risk of widespread flooding as multiple weather systems move across the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) and days of heavy rainfall on already saturated catchments.

A succession of three rainfall systems will bring downpours across large tracts of the country’s east this week, with parts of the state’s inland regions already hit with showers and thunderstorms.
