Gloomy forecast for south-east Queensland before skies clear again
The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting wet and cloudy conditions for Monday and Tuesday throughout the south-east corner, before the sunshine returns later in the week.
South-east Queensland is set to experience wet and cloudy conditions on Monday and Tuesday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. The Gold Coast may receive up to 15 millimetres of rain, while Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast could see 9mm of precipitation. Meteorologist Baden Gilbert explained that a south-easterly change from New South Wales will bring showers to the region, starting around lunchtime on Monday and continuing into Tuesday.
Fine and sunny weather is expected to return to the south-east corner on Wednesday, marking a change from the warm and sunny weekend. Thunderstorms may occur on the Sunshine Coast late on Monday, but the rest of the state is forecast to have more consistent weather. Townsville can expect mostly dry conditions with temperatures up to 29 degrees Celsius.
While Mackay may see a possible shower early in the week, Rockhampton and Bundaberg are forecast to remain mostly fine. Longreach and Mount Isa will be hot and sunny with maximum temperatures between 33C and 35C, while Cairns may experience showers all week, with up to 5mm of precipitation possible.
