File photoA weather system hovering over the Australian interior all week is set to move south, delivering badly needed rain to farmers. South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has warned residents to prepare for the risk of flooding in the days ahead. "It is not unusual in South Australia or metropolitan Adelaide to see a 10-millimetre rain event," he said. A severe weather warning was already in place for the South Australia's west coast, west pastoral and Eyre Peninsula districts. Flood warnings remain in place for large parts of central Australia, with much of the water flowing into Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre.
