Sydney bracing for wettest July since 1959

Prophecy Sign:  Anomalous weather conditions, (roaring and tossing seas), prevalent during the last days.

There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Luke 21:25 NIV

From the articles:

Sydney is bracing for the wettest July in more than 50 years as a severe weather warning is issued for coastal areas. Torrential rainfall is creating traffic chaos as flooded roads are closed across the state. Observatory Hill in Sydney's city centre has recorded 171 millimetres in the month so far, already giving coastal areas of the NSW capital the wettest July since 1999. If just another 10 millimetres falls, Sydneysiders would have experienced the wettest July since 1959, when 196 millimetres of rainfall was recorded.

A blanket of stifling heat, oppressively still and sticky with humidity, has settled over large swaths of the country — and it's here for the long haul. Canadians who feel like they are being roasted in an oven, stewing in their own juices, are not that far off. A heat dome, a hot, unmoving high-pressure area, is hovering over central parts of Canada, pushing the jet stream well to the north, and keeping cooler or wetter weather out, said Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips. "It's like a heat pump and it just sluggishly sits there and like an unwanted house guest, it just won't move," he said. The dome is hovering over much of the United States as well. It spread up to western Canada over the weekend, sending sizzling temperatures to the Prairies.
