Unprecedented Snowfall Blankets Eastern Australia – 5th August 2025
The eastern states of Australia are the states adjoining the east continental coastline of Australia. These are the mainland states of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, and the island state of Tasmania. The Australian Capital Territory and Jervis Bay Territory, while not states, are also included. On some occasions, the southern state of South Australia is also included in this grouping due to its economic ties with the eastern states.

More than 100 people have died across Asia this month as the vast region experiences an intense monsoon season.
The past fortnight has seen extreme rain that has caused floods and landslides across several countries including India, China and Japan.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate as a result.
On Friday, South Korea was on high alert as a storm battered the capital Seoul, while in the Philippines officials warned of a tropical cyclone.
Earlier this week, Japan also reported record-breaking floods on the island of Kyushu in which at least eight people, including a local politician, died. Others are still missing.
“It’s raining like never before,” a spokesman for Japan’s meteorological agency said, as cities around the country logged record amounts of rain.
The World Meteorological Organization’s director of hydrology, water and cryosphere said developed countries such as Japan were “extremely alert, and they’re also very well prepared when it comes to flood management measures.”
“But many low-income countries have no warnings in place, hardly any flood defence structures and no integrated flood management,” Stefan Uhlenbrook added in his statement on Thursday.
Japanese authorities had earlier in the week evacuated more than 420,000 residents from two prefectures in Kyushu island.
“Your life is in danger, you need to take action immediately,” the orders read.
Meanwhile in Seoul, 135 people were evacuated early Friday as torrential rain hit the South Korean capital, causing power cuts across 4,000 households.
In an emergency meeting with government agencies, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said preventing deaths was the country’s top priority.
“All public officials should remain alert and respond until the end of the monsoon,” Mr Han told local media.
He also warned officials to “thoroughly prepare” for the possibility of North Korea releasing water from a dam near the inter-Korean border after the country also received heavy rain.
Such releases in the past have often occurred without notice and led to flooding and deaths in the South.

Major flooding strikes Mississippi, USA
Torrential rain fell for several hours Thursday in central Mississippi, flooding roads, homes and businesses in Winston County and Louisville, where the mayor declared a state of emergency.
“Please do not travel anywhere in Louisville or Winston County unless it is an absolute emergency,” Mayor Will Hill said Thursday morning on Facebook. “This is not a typical flash flood and like no thing we’ve experience(d) in our area, maybe ever.”
Winston County Sheriff Jason Pugh said law enforcement officers rescued at least eight people from vehicles and removed several others from homes as the water rose.
Swift water washed one car into a ditch, but the driver escaped before it submerged. The man stood knee-deep in the floodwater on top of his car as officers rescued him, Pugh told The Associated Press.
About 17,500 people live in Winston County. Louisville, the largest town, is about 95 miles (150 kilometers) northeast of Jackson.
No deaths or serious injuries had been reported in the county by the evening, the mayor said.
“We are on the opposite end of the storm now with blue skies and calm weather and the water has subsided,” Hill said. “But what we experienced was not just a 100-year flood but a 1,000-year flood. He added that 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain had fallen “in a very short time.”
The mayor said the immediate focus was on safety and he and others had just gotten a first look around the city of about 6,000. He estimated that a couple hundred homes had water damage, as well as some businesses.
He added that officials were contending with debris, drainage problems, erosion and damage to streets and homes, with some taking on about 2 feet (60 centimeters) of water.
Pugh said the last time he can recall this type of rapid rainfall in the area was in 1977, when he was a child. “There are streets in Louisville that are flooded that I’ve never seen flooded,” he said.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation issued flash flood warnings on some state highways in Winston and Neshoba counties. Roadways also flooded in nearby Choctaw and Noxubee counties, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said.
Gov. Tate Reeves said on Facebook that two roads in the area were impassable and that a highway was closed because of about 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) of water on the road. Reeves said the county had requested a boat team, which responded.
He also said a shelter was open for residents seeking higher ground. “We’re standing ready to help support the residents there,” Reeves said.

‘Rain bomb’ hits Australia’s northeast, killing seven in floods
A severe storm system pummelled Australia’s northeastern city of Brisbane on Sunday, causing evacuations, power outages and school closures as the death toll climbed to seven from accompanying flash floods.
More than 1,400 homes in the capital of Queensland state were at risk of flooding while more than 28,000 homes were without power statewide, as pristine beaches on the Gold and Sunshine coasts, which are key tourist attractions, all closed.
“We never expected this rain,” state premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told a briefing. “This rain bomb is just really, you know, it’s unrelenting … It’s just coming down in buckets.”
More than 100 schools across the southeast of a state famed for abundant sunshine will be closed on Monday. State rescue services said they received 100 requests an hour for help in recent days.
Among the six killed in the flooding were a 34-year-old man who tried to swim to safety after the waters submerged his car and another whose vehicle was swept away in the most populous state of New South Wales (NSW).
About 700 people were asked to evacuate from the city of Gympie on Saturday after the Mary River system surged beyond 22.06 m (72.4 ft) for the town’s worst flood since the 1880s.
Meteorologists said the deluge and thunderstorms would continue through Monday, before starting to ease off in Queensland, but moving south to New South Wales, where some communities at risk in its northeast have been told to evacuate.
The risk of riverine and flash flooding was “very real over coming days,” said Steph Cooke, the state’s emergency services minister.
