Southeast Coast Forecast

View the current warnings for Queensland

Forecast issued at 5:00 am EST on Thursday 30 November 2023.

Weather Situation

A high north of New Zealand will maintain a weak ridge along the tropical east coast over the next few days. A low-pressure system moving east across southeastern Australia dragged a trough off the southeast coast early on Thursday, while directing a much warmer and drier westerly airflow across the south of the state. The northern extent of the trough will linger over central districts on Thursday before drifting back southward and westward again from Friday, bringing a return to humid and showery conditions across much of eastern and interior Queensland. The trough will push back eastwards again over the weekend and may move off east coast during Sunday or Monday. A ridge will strengthen in the wake of the trough along the east coast during next week.

Forecast for the rest of Thursday

Patchy fog early this morning. Sunny afternoon. Light winds becoming westerly 15 to 25 km/h in the middle of the day then becoming light in the evening. Daytime maximum temperatures in the low to mid 30s.

Fire Danger - Moderate

Sun protection 7:30am to 3:40pm, UV Index predicted to reach 11 [Extreme]
