  "textContent": "A multi-hazard weather system began affecting south-eastern Australia on March 26, 2026, bringing severe thunderstorms to parts of New South Wales, followed by damaging winds, hazardous surf along the NSW coast, a sharp temperature drop, and snow in alpine areas. Forecasts through March 28 called for gusts up to 120 km/h (75 mph) in exposed coastal areas, offshore wave heights of several meters, and wintry conditions over higher terrain, while NSW SES reported hundreds of storm-related incidents during the initial phase of the event.\n\nSource",
