International Desk: Sydney, Australia's largest city, has experienced its third flood this year. About 50 people have been urged to evacuate their homes due to waterlogging. Some parts of Sydney have received about eight months of rain in four days. Many areas have been cut off from communication due to floodwaters. Many houses have been submerged in water. Thousands of families have been left without electricity. The monsoon La Nina weather causes massive flooding across Australia at this time of year. More than 20 people have died in floods in the country this year. Many of them live in New South Wales. Residents in 100 areas across Sydney have been rescued from the floods. People in another 50 areas have been warned to evacuate. The flood situation in the coastal Hunter and Illawara areas has deteriorated drastically as several major rivers across the country have been flooded. Some areas of New South Wales received 600 millimeters of rain in four days. The meteorological office says London receives about a third of its annual rainfall.
