Heavy rains expected to raise NSW dam catchment areas to close to 70% | 7NEWS

A deluge that started last night and, by the end of the weekend, the drenching rain will be a game changer for Sydney's water crisis. More than 200mm are expected to fall in our dam catchment areas, raising levels from 42% to close to 70%.

The RFS Commissioner says his crews will take all the rain they can get after wet weather extinguished some 20 blazes overnight and gave farmers cause for hope. The biggest falls have been around Byron Bay which has recorded its most significant rain event in almost half a century.
