The SES responded to more than 100 incidents as Adelaide recorded more than 33mm of rain overnight – its wettest 24 hours since June 18 last year.

Up to 20mm more rain is expected across Adelaide today as the slow-moving system drifts east.

Northern suburbs motorists are expected to face delays this morning after a large tree fell onto Main North Rd at Salisbury East.

Police said localised flooding was also affecting traffic after a severe storm system came through the northern suburbs.
