The New South Wales floodwaters were given further strength overnight as torrential rain delivered a further one hundred to three hundred millimetres to the region between Kempsey and Coffs Harbour. The total 24 hour rainfall for Coffs was an astounding 360 millimetres, making it the wettest November day in over 66 years of records, and in 45 years for any month. Kempsey experienced 136 millimetres of rainfall to 9am, the wettest November day in 59 years, and the focus of the rainfall has remained in this area again today. The extremely large falls come as the result of humid easterly winds feeding a trough. These winds have swung northeasterly today, which is why the most intense rain area moved south. However tomorrow will see further heavy rain everywhere along the coast north of Newcastle.
