Storms are smashing Sydney and major surrounding regions, with heavy rains lashing the city.
The Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm alert just after 3pm local time Monday.
Severe thunderstorms are bringing heavy rainfall which may lead to flash flooding in the next several hours in Gosford, Sydney, Penrith, Parramatta, Campbelltown and Taralga.
About 3.40pm the weather bureau provided an update, saying severe thunderstorms in the warning area had temporarily eased.
‘However, the redevelopment of severe thunderstorms remains possible. The situation is being closely monitored and further detailed warnings will be issued as necessary,’ the warning said.
