SYDNEY – Australian authorities on Sunday (Jan 18) downgraded a flood alert for a suburb of the country’s largest city Sydney, after residents were evacuated due to rising waters sparked by torrential rains.<\/p>\n

Flooding was “receding and no further significant rise in flood levels is expected,” State Emergency Services said on Sunday afternoon, referring to the suburb of Narrabeen, a beachside area with a population of around 8,000.<\/p>\n

Residents and holidaymakers in the low-lying area of New South Wales capital Sydney had been told late on Saturday to evacuate to higher ground due to dangerous flash flooding, according to state authorities.<\/p>\n

Climate change is causing heavy short-term rainfall events to become more intense in Australia, the country’s science agency said last year.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews responded to more than 1,700 incidents in New South Wales since the heavy rain hit on Saturday, the state authorities said.<\/p>\n

A woman died on Saturday amid the wild weather after being hit by a falling tree branch near Wollongong, about 66 km (41 miles) south of Sydney, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.<\/p>\n
