#AceWeatherDesk says flash -flooding warning for Gold Coast as BOM forecasts 170mm Monday, up to 100mm Tuesday over Queensland and more + I urge you to tune in: Wild Weather airs tonight at 8:30 on ABC TV and ABC iview.You can also catch up later on ABC iview or our website.

The Bureau of Meteorology says flash flooding is possible across the Gold Coast, with up to 170 millimetres of rain forecast today, and a further 100mm possible on Tuesday.

BOM atmospheric scientist Brooke Pagel said a severe weather warning was current for south-east Queensland, including the Gold Coast, with areas from the hinterland right to the border expected to be impacted.

“There are a couple of flood warnings out, the Gold Coast just has the initial flood watch, so basically, it’s not quite a warning yet, but we’re keeping an eye on the modelling and basically the river levels for that one,” Ms Pagel said.

“So minor flooding is likely, there may be some isolated moderate flooding possible across the region.”

She said the areas impacted would depend on where the heavy rainfall occurred and the bureau would be monitoing the situation over the next 12-24 hours.

“It’s the coastal regions mainly being impacted, all of the Gold Coast into the hinterland, they tend to get a lot more rainfall up there.”

Ms Pagel said hundreds of millimetres were forecast from now until Wednesday.

“For today we are looking at 60 to 170 millimetres,” she said.

“Then tomorrow will potentially be 40 to 100 millimetres, and that’s basically across the whole Gold Coast.”

A hazardous surf warning has also been put in place for the Gold Coast for Monday and Tuesday.

“There’s a significant easterly swell that’s looking to be about 2.5 to 3.1 metres, potentially developing along that south-east coast.

“That’s basically due to a developing low in the southern Coral Sea, so that warning is valid for tomorrow and Wednesday.”

Ms Pagel said the Gold Coast was urged to be on alert, with surfaces more saturated than usual due to recent wet weather.

“So the severity of those storms is actually the heavy rainfall that we’re warning about because it can lead to flash flooding and renewed river level rises, especially because it’s been so wet lately,” she said.

“Most of the catchments across the south-east are quite saturated, so basically the water doesn’t absorb into the ground,” she said.

“So it just sits right on top and there are a lot of areas I know in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast where there are lots of little creeks and bridges that are really prone to flash flooding.

“So we’re just letting everybody know, if you’re near any creeks or rivers in low-lying areas that are prone to flood waters, be aware.”

She advised Gold Coast residents to check for updated warnings and to stay off the roads if they could.

The Gold Coast City Council has also asked residents to remain vigilant and continue checking for updates.  

“Everyone in the Gold Coast region is urged to keep up-to-date with latest weather warnings and flood alerts from Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)

“With intense rainfall expected this afternoon , Monday 28 March there is potential for flash flooding.

“Stay up-to-date – visit dashboard.cityofgoldcoast.com.au, tune into local media, or visit City of Gold Coast social channels.”

ABC: Hi, I’m Sally Neighbour.

This morning we have woken to news of even more severe weather warnings for northern New South Wales – a region still grappling with the utter devastation caused by flooding just weeks ago.

These floods, and our 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires, have rammed home the terrible cost of extreme weather and its aftermath.

But Australia is not the only nation experiencing wild, dangerous, and unprecedented weather.

In Germany last year, hundreds of people were killed in floods when record rainfall saw rivers bursting their banks, washing away buildings that had stood since medieval times.  

Soaring temperatures in the northern summer smashed Canada’s records and ferocious wildfires burned a town to the ground.

The pattern has been repeated around the globe.

Tonight, we bring you a timely and sobering report from the BBC’s Panorama program that charts increasing extreme weather ‘events’ around the world.

Climate scientists warn that these are not random acts of bad luck but a symptom of our changing climate.
