Brisbane is expected to soar to 33C on Sunday, around nine degrees warmer than is typical for this time of year.
The temperature is expected to drop from a top of 33C to 26C on Monday, then decline slightly further by Thursday, reaching 23C.
News24 meteorologist Tamsin Green said conditions across Brisbane are expected to be above average for the time of year, as the city is set for a blistering 33C day.
“Well, it’s an improving picture into your Sunday across the southeast as we say goodbye to that low-pressure system that brought damaging wind gusts and rainfall,” Ms Green said.
“We’re looking at dry conditions and still hanging onto that heat across Queensland. So, Brisbane is set for a top of 33C.
“That’s around nine degrees above average for the time of year.”
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a marine wind warning for Queensland in Sunshine Coast Waters, Moreton Bay, and Gold Coast Waters.
