National Synoptic Situation
So, there's this high over southeast Australia that's planning to take a little vacation in the Tasman Sea. While it's there, it's going to extend a ridge over the state - how fancy! But don't worry, the high will eventually move east in the next few days, still keeping that ridge in place. Meanwhile, there's a weak heat trough just hanging out in the interior. It's not causing too much trouble, but it will start to deepen over the southern interior later on Sunday. By Tuesday, it'll be making its way east, heading off the southeast coast. And just when you thought things were calming down, another trough might be making its way across the south of the state on Thursday and Friday. It's like a never-ending parade of weather systems! So, buckle up and enjoy the ride - or at least prepare for some more weather shenanigans.

Temperature and Rainfall Forecast - Access-G
Sunday, 27th October
Well isn't it just a scorcher out there in Capricornia, Central Coast, Whitsundays, Gulf Country, and the interior! The fire risks are higher than a cat on a hot tin roof in these regions. So, if you were planning on roasting marshmallows over an open flame, you might want to think twice. Stay safe out there, folks!
Monday, 28th October
It seems like Mother Nature is feeling a bit indecisive today, with scattered showers expected in central and southeastern Queensland, as well as the North Tropical Coast and Peninsula. Don't be surprised if you find yourself caught in a downpour while trying to enjoy a sunny day. If you're in the eastern Peninsula, North Tropical Coast, or southeastern Queensland, be prepared for some widespread showers that may dampen your plans. And watch out for isolated thunderstorms in southeastern and central Queensland, as they have the potential to get a little rowdy and turn into severe thunderstorms. But fear not, for those of you basking in the sunshine elsewhere, enjoy it while you can as Mother Nature has decided to bless you with mostly sunny skies. Just be prepared for temperatures that are a little below average in the southeast, but above average in other areas. And for those living in the Peninsula and Gulf Country, brace yourselves for some severe heatwave conditions. It looks like Mother Nature is turning up the heat in those parts, so stay cool and hydrated.
Tuesday, 29th October
Prepare yourself for a sprinkle or two in the east, as well as in the posh Gulf Country and Peninsula.

Temperatures will soar above average, creating a mini heatwave in parts of the Peninsula district. So, stay cool and keep an umbrella handy in case Mother Nature decides to throw a tantrum.
Wednesday, 30th October
Get your umbrellas ready, folks! There's a slight chance of isolated showers in the eastern districts, as well as in the Gulf Country and the Peninsula. Don't be surprised if you hear a rumble of thunder in central and southeastern Queensland, as well as the western Peninsula and Gulf Country. But fear not, for the rest of the state will be mostly sunny. Temperatures are expected to be above average, with some areas in the southwest reaching well above average. In fact, parts of the Peninsula district are experiencing a heatwave. So, make sure to stay cool and hydrated, because Mother Nature is turning up the heat!ns.
