State Emergency Services (SES) issued multiple new evacuation orders and warnings across Sydney on Tuesday as torrential rain continued to lash New South Wales (NSW), leading to river and flash flooding.

Due to an East Coast low-pressure system, the Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe weather warning on Monday night for a broad area in New South Wales between Taree and Bega, with conditions set to worsen overnight in regions including the Mid North Coast, Hunter, Sydney, Illawarra, and South Coast.
