Heavy flooding broke out in the Central Coast and Sydney areas of New South Wales, Australia, beginning in early July 2022.[2][3] Around 85,000 people were displaced by the flooding or requested to leave their homes by authorities.[4][5] The floods' damage was significant because rain fell on land that was already saturated after months of previous heavy rainfall. It was the third major flood in 2022 for some areas in the eastern seaboard.[6]
