Volatile weather predicted after storms on Saturday, with a man in his 20s struck by lightning while swimming on NSW Central Coast
Dangerous and severe “supercell” thunderstorms with the potential for giant hail and destructive winds were forecast for parts of New South Wales on Sunday, as volatile weather continued in the eastern states over the weekend.
Storms dumped heavy rain across large parts of northern and eastern NSW and much of Queensland on Saturday, with strong winds recorded up to 98km/h in Goulburn and rainfall totals of between 30mm and 50mm in the Coffs Harbour area.
