Heavy rain brought flash flooding to Australia's largest city, Sydney, on Saturday, prompting rescues and evacuation orders for several low-lying suburbs.

Emergency authorities said they carried out 13 rescues and received 297 calls for assistance from residents in Sydney, the capital of New South Wales state, in the 24 hours prior to 5 a.m. local time, because of floods sparked by the heavy rain.

The nation's weather forecaster warned that major flooding could occur in the northwest of Sydney, a city of about 5 million, later on Saturday.

Flooding is the second-deadliest type of natural disaster after heatwaves in Australia, accounting for about 20 per cent of natural disaster deaths between 1900 and 2022, according to the federal government's Australian Climate Service agency.
