Queensland can expect a short reprieve from chilly conditions by the end of the week, before a cold snap returns, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.<\/p>\n

Senior forecaster Shane Kennedy said after a chilly weekend interrupted by some showers across south-east Queensland, temperatures should rise slightly this week.<\/p>\n

“It should warm up just a little bit more over the next few days, just ahead of a trough system that will arrive late in the week,” Mr Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

He said average temperatures in the low 20s were expected in southern Queensland.<\/p>\n

“We should start moving back up more into the mid-20s through southern and south-eastern Queensland later this week,” Mr Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

“Those overnight temperatures will get a bit warmer as well as we tick over into a new month.”<\/p>\n

Central Queensland can expect averages of about the 25-degree Celsius mark, with the Far North West seeing temperatures in the low 30s.<\/p>\n

Cloudy conditions with some scattered showers are forecast for south-east Queensland, before sunnier conditions return from Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Mostly dry conditions are expected further inland, but there is a high chance of showers around Longreach tomorrow, with up to 5 millimetres possible.<\/p>\n

Partly cloudy conditions should persist in Far North and Central Queensland, with scattered showers along the coast.<\/p>\n

But Mr Kennedy said a “short-lived” cold snap should return on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“No big winter blast on the way at this stage but [it] could certainly get a little warmer late on this week before cooling down again next weekend,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queensland can expect a short reprieve from chilly conditions by the end of the week, before a cold…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[22,21,339,211,338],"class_list":["post-40215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-austrlia","tag-forecast","tag-qld","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
