Torrential rains intensified the flood crisis in Sydney, prompting evacuation orders for approximately 50,000 residents in New South Wales, primarily in Sydney's western suburbs.
An intense low-pressure system caused heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving a month's worth since Saturday, leading to major flooding in places like Windsor, experiencing its third flood this year.
The federal government declared the floods a natural disaster, providing emergency funding, while rescue operations continue, including efforts to tow a bulk carrier ship that lost power off the coast.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
