Severe weather events have wreaked havoc in various parts of the Southern Hemisphere. In northwest Argentina, a significant flash flood struck the province of Catamarca, particularly in Rincón, Pomán Department, resulting in the collapse of a pedestrian bridge. The flooding, which was exacerbated by a wildfire burn scar, caused debris and dark-colored water to spread across the region. Meanwhile, eastern Australia faced deadly thunderstorms that led to the deaths of at least 10 people, including a nine-year-old girl who was swept into a drain, with Queensland storms resulting in one woman killed and over 100,000 homes losing power due to the storms. The Sydney Airport area also experienced flooding, and severe thunderstorms are expected to continue until tomorrow evening. Southern Thailand was not spared, as several provinces there were hit by severe flooding after days of heavy rain. In South Africa, flash floods across a province resulted in at least seven deaths and 11 people missing, with rescue teams continuing their search amid the torrential rains. Additionally, Australia grappled with the aftermath of the storms that uprooted trees and damaged buildings in the states of Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland.
