Wet weather increases risk of shark attacks

Some of Australia’s top beaches are under shark alert following heavy rainfall that has created murky water conditions. Swimmers and surfers in New South Wales are advised to be cautious, especially after four shark attacks earlier this year, including a fatal incident in Sydney Harbour. The state government urges beachgoers to stay out of the water at closed beaches and avoid swimming in unclear waters, while also emphasizing the importance of monitoring baitfish activity as a potential shark warning.
