More than 100 flights in and out of Sydney’s domestic and international airports were canceled due to the extreme weather on Friday.

The storm that hit the airport around 2:00 p.m. was the cause of most of the flight cancellations, although some had already been canceled or diverted earlier.

National lights affected included those in Canberra, Armidale, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Mildura, Adelaide, Brisbane, Albury, Hobart and many other cities and towns.

Canceled international flights included those to Port Vila in Vanuatu, Beijing and Qingdao in China and Rarotonga in the Cook Islands.

Despite a possible delay, things are looking better for Saturday, but 13 flights have already been cancelled.

No international departures listed for Saturday have been canceled at this time.

Sydney Airport said Passengers should check with their airline about the status of their flight.

Heavy rain and strong winds also caused chaos on roads and rail networks.

Millions of people were warned not to drive as the major weather event wreaked havoc and the deadly deluge hit the east coast.

All New South Wales residents were told not to leave their homes unless their travel was “necessary”.

The problem was caused by the merger of two major weather systems, which brought up to 300mm of rain from southeast Queensland to the New South Wales south coast on Friday.

The rare weather phenomenon, known as Black Easter, plunged some areas into darkness in the middle of the day.
