Well, looks like we've got a ridge extending over the state, accompanied by a southeasterly wind surge making its way north along the east coast. On Tuesday, a high will grace southeastern Australia before sauntering over to the southern Coral Sea on Wednesday, and then casually strolling east over the next few days. Come Thursday, a trough will nonchalantly mosey on over to the southwest of the state before making its way east across southern and central Queensland on Friday. The trough might even decide to stick around for the weekend, while a weak high crosses southeastern Australia on Sunday, casually moving into the Tasman Sea next Monday and extending a weak ridge over the state. Just another day in the life of our ever-changing weather patterns!

Tuesday, 17th September

Well, looks like Mother Nature is feeling a bit trigger-happy in the western and central districts, with those fire danger ratings reaching new heights. So, folks, be prepared to witness some scorching hot conditions out there. Stay safe and keep those fire extinguishers handy!

Wednesday, 18th September

Some lucky souls in the north and east might get a sprinkle or two, while those south of Mackay will probably feel left out. Up north, expect a bit of cloud cover, but down south, it's all about the sunshine. Don't be surprised if you wake up to frost in the south and central regions, or if you find yourself in a foggy situation in the southeast. Temperatures will be cooler than usual up north, but pretty much par for the course everywhere else.

Thursday, 19th September

It seems like Mother Nature has decided to sprinkle some rain in the northern and eastern districts above Yeppoon. As for the rest of northern Queensland, it will be partly cloudy, while the sun will shine brightly in most other areas. Temperatures will be a bit higher than usual south of Longreach, but near average everywhere else. So, get ready for a mix of weather patterns across the region today.

Friday, 20th September

Prepare yourself for some isolated to scattered showers in eastern districts and over Cape York Peninsula, with a chance of them being isolated south of Mackay. The rest of the area will be graced with mostly sunny skies. There may be some morning fog between Cairns and Mackay to add a touch of mystery to your day. Maximum temperatures are predicted to be above average, except for the far southwest where they will be near average. Enjoy the weather, or at least try to!

Regional Round-Up


North Tropical Coast and Tablelands

Looks like Mother Nature is feeling a little moody today with some clouds and a chance of showers. Don't forget to hold onto your hat with those gusty east to southeasterly winds blowing at 25 to 40 km/h. Temperatures overnight will drop to a cool 14 to 20 degrees, so make sure to snuggle up in bed. Daytime temperatures will reach between 19 and 27, giving us a bit of a temperature rollercoaster. So, grab your umbrella and prepare for a slightly unpredictable day ahead!


Herbert and Lower Burdekin

The weather report for today predicts clouds, with a slight possibility of showers up north, mainly in the morning. Don't hold your breath for rain anywhere else though. Brace yourself for easterly winds blowing at 25 to 35 km/h. Temperatures will drop overnight to a chilly 15 to 18 degrees, but don't worry, it will warm up to a balmy 22 to 28 degrees during the day. So, grab your umbrellas and sunscreen, and get ready for the unpredictable weather!


Central Coast and Whitsundays

Looks like we're in for a classic mix of clouds and sun, with winds coming in from the east to southeasterly direction at a brisk 25 to 40 km/h. Overnight, temperatures will drop to a relatively mild 13 to 17 degrees, while during the day, we can expect the mercury to climb into the low to high 20s. So grab your windbreaker and sunglasses, it's going to be a rollercoaster of weather out there!


Peninsula

Looks like we've got some clouds rolling in, giving us a medium chance of showers near the east coast and a slight chance elsewhere. So, don't forget your umbrella! Winds will be coming from the east at a brisk 25 to 40 km/h. Overnight, temperatures will drop to between 19 and 23 degrees, while daytime temperatures will hover around a balmy 30 degrees. So, make sure to pack a jacket for those cooler evenings!


Gulf Country

Expect a sky that's not quite sure if it wants to commit to being cloudy or clear. Maybe it's having an existential crisis near the Northern Territory border, considering a shower but not fully committing. The rest of us have basically zero chance of rain, so don't hold your breath. Winds will be blowing from the east at a brisk 20 to 30 km/h, so hold onto your hats, or they might end up in the next state over. Overnight, temperatures will dip down to a balmy 19 to 22 degrees, so make sure to tuck yourself in snugly. Daytime temperatures will peak in the low 30s, giving us a taste of that sweet, sweet summer heat.


Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders

Prepare for some "partly cloudy" skies today, with winds shifting from easterly to a breezier 15 to 25 km/h, then cranking up to 25 to 40 km/h in the morning. Don't forget to tuck yourself in snugly tonight as temperatures drop to a chilly 14 to 18 degrees. Tomorrow will bring a mix of sun and clouds, with highs ranging from 24 to 31 degrees. So, hold onto your hats, it's going to be a wild ride!


Capricornia

Expect a fair amount of sunshine today, with breezy southeasterly winds in the morning shifting to a more refined east to northeasterly direction by the afternoon. As night falls, temperatures will dip to a range of 5 to 14 degrees, while daytime highs will climb to the mid to high 20s.


Central Highlands and Coalfields

Get ready to break out the sunscreen and shades, folks. Mother Nature is serving up a mostly sunny day with a side of frost around the Carnarvon Ranges in the early morning. Winds will be doing their little dance, starting off east to southeasterly at 15 to 20 km/h before cranking it up to 20 to 30 km/h in the morning. By evening, they'll be feeling a little indecisive and shifting to east to northeasterly at 15 to 20 km/h. Overnight temperatures will be dropping to a cool 5 to 13 degrees, so maybe grab an extra blanket. Daytime temperatures will be strutting their stuff in the mid to high 20s. So, get ready to enjoy the sunshine and watch out for that frosty surprise in the morning - Mother Nature's got jokes.


Central West

Expect some sunshine today, with winds coming from the east to southeasterly direction at a speed of 25 to 35 km/h. As night falls, temperatures will drop to a cool 10 to 15 degrees, but fear not! Daytime temperatures will climb back up to a toasty 30 degrees. So grab your sunscreen and shades, it's going to be a scorcher out there!


North West

Expect some clouds, a sprinkle here and there up in the northwest, but don't hold your breath for rain anywhere else. Winds will be blowing from the east to southeast at a brisk 25 to 35 km/h. Temperatures will drop overnight to a somewhat bearable 14 to 20 degrees, but don't get too comfortable because it'll heat up to the low 30s during the day. So grab your sunscreen and stay hydrated, unless you enjoy sweating buckets.


Channel Country

Prepare yourselves for another day of sunshine, with some breezy southeasterly winds blowing at a speed of 25 to 35 km/h. As night falls, temperatures will drop to a chilly 8 to 15 degrees, while daytime temperatures will climb to a toasty 25 to 30 degrees.


Maranoa and Warrego

Well, looks like we've got a classic case of frosty patches in the east during the wee hours of the morning. Winds will be playing a little game of musical chairs - starting off southeasterly at 15 to 20 km/h, then taking a nap before dawn, only to wake up and become south to southeasterly at 15 to 25 km/h in the morning. Overnight, temperatures will be dropping to a chilly 2 to 7 degrees, but fear not, as daytime temperatures will be reaching the mid to high 20s. Mother nature sure does have a sense of humor, doesn't she?


Darling Downs and Granite Belt

Get ready to wake up to a delightful surprise of frost in the early morning. Mother Nature is feeling a bit chilly with overnight temperatures dropping to a crisp 1 to 4 degrees. However, don't fret, as she will soon warm up with daytime temperatures reaching the pleasant low to mid 20s. Light winds will accompany the sunny skies, making for a perfect day to enjoy the great outdoors.


Wide Bay and Burnett

Get ready for another riveting day of weather, folks! The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies, with a slight chance of fog in the south during the early morning. There's also a slight chance of a shower along the coastal fringe, but don't hold your breath - the chance is near zero elsewhere. Light winds will start the day, then shift to east to southeasterly at a breezy 15 to 20 km/h in the early afternoon before calming down in the evening. Overnight temperatures will drop to a brisk 3 to 11 degrees, while daytime temperatures will reach the pleasant low to mid 20s. Mother Nature sure knows how to keep us on our toes!


Southeast Coast

Expect a touch of fog up north in the early hours, with a sprinkle of rain possible near the coast but basically nowhere else. Winds will start off light, then do a little dance to the east and southeasterly by the afternoon. Temperatures will cool down to 5-11°C overnight, but don't worry - we'll be back in the low to mid 20s during the day. Just your average day in the wild world of weather!
