No warnings for Queensland
Forecast issued at 9:04 am EST on Saturday 18 October 2025.
Weather Situation
A trough extends across the southern interior of the state, dragging a warm airmass ahead of it, leading to unsettled conditions. The trough will push through South East Queensland late on Saturday before moving off the coast by Sunday. A high centred over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge across northern Queensland. This high will be replaced by a new high entering the Tasman Sea from the west in the wake of the trough on Sunday establishing a new ridge across the east of the state. Meanwhile, another trough approaching from the west will lead to a sharp increase in temperatures early next week in western Queensland.
Forecast for the rest of Saturday
