Heavy rain and floods forecast for Australia as La Nina sets in

Australians on the east coast are set for another sodden weekend as a massive weather system sweeps across the country.

Rain and thunderstorms are set to bring another round of heavy falls across large parts of Australia that could further exacerbate flooding already occurring in overflowing creeks and river systems.

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast more heavy rain for the eastern two-thirds of the country to end the week after a month of already record-breaking falls.
