Severe storm events in Sydney

Severe storm events in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia are not uncommon and include hailstorms, wind storms, and flash flooding from rain caused either by East coast lows (during autumn-winter periods) or tropical cyclone remnants (during summer periods). East coast lows are low pressure depressions that can bring significant damage by heavy rain, cyclonic winds and huge swells. Sydney is rarely affected by cyclones, although remnants of cyclones do affect the city.
Scientists have predicted that rainfall in Sydney, with its moderate to low variability, will become more unpredictable and temperatures will be on the rise. According to CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, global warming has increased the chances of extreme rain and flash floods recently, although destructive heavy rainfall events have occurred in Australia, including the Sydney area, since records began in the 18th century, and ergo the chronological list below will showcase the notable storm events from the earliest recorded date until present.
