Sunshine and surf expected across Queensland as winter winds down
Warm weekend weather is expected across most of Queensland with some isolated coastal showers.
Queensland is set to experience warm and sunny conditions as winter winds down, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. Most of the state will enjoy scattered showers, particularly on the Sunshine Coast and the north tropical coast, with intensifying showers expected on Sunday. Westerly winds will bring warmer air from Central Queensland through to the coast, paving the way for an early taste of spring.
Temperatures will rise heading into September, with Brisbane and Ipswich expected to reach the 30s. While parts of the state will see strong winds and hazardous surf, Brisbane residents can expect partly cloudy conditions with temperatures in the mid-20s. Strong wind warnings are in place for the peninsula on Saturday, though they are expected to subside in the days following.
Although a final cold snap is possible later in the month, it becomes increasingly unlikely as the continent continues to heat up.
