Episode Details

South Australia’s August just got wetter than ever—record-breaking rain drenched the lower Yorke Peninsula, flooding roads and knocking out Telstra services in Yorketown, Edithburgh, and Warooka. The SES responded to nearly 90 emergency calls Monday alone, with water surging through Adelaide Hills and Sellicks Beach. Major river warnings loom for the Onkaparinga, while Mount Lofty, Port Lincoln, and Edithburgh all shattered August rainfall records. Even Adelaide soaked up 29mm—placing this month in the top 10% of wettest Augusts on record, though still shy of the legendary 1852 deluge.
