Although the weather for the rest of the week is expected to stay dry and hot – giving the rivers and lakes time to recover from the recent downpours - forecasters are warning of more major storms this weekend.
But it’s currently uncertain which areas will be worst hit.
The weather is likely to stay unstable from Saturday afternoon until Wednesday next week. But it’s hoped the rainfall won’t be as bad as it was last weekend.
