Sydney residents woke to more pelting rain, hail and thunderstorms across the city this morning, with disruptions to public transport.
The soggy start to the morning comes after thunderstorms broke out yesterday afternoon with lightning strikes and massive hail storms falling on houses in the city’s west.
Early this morning, the city’s harbour was smothered by heavy clouds as the damp weather system moved north from the southern suburbs and visibility was reduced to just a few metres.
The Bureau of Meteorology says the wet conditions today are being triggered by a high-pressure system over the Tasman Sea and a weakening trough over north-eastern New South Wales.
Maximum rainfalls of 3mm are forecast today, but that is expected to rise to 9mm tomorrow.
The impact of storms has already been felt by motorists in western Sydney.
