Most of Queensland is set for a classic wintry week, while the state’s south-east could see some rainfall, but damaging surf conditions are expected to ease from today.<\/p>\n

“We are in a fairly stable weather pattern right across the state \u2026 so, dry seasonal conditions that will produce quite persistent south-easterly winds over much of the state,” Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecaster Jonathan Howe said.<\/p>\n

“Most of the rainfall will be south of Hervey Bay, in Brisbane and down towards the Gold Coast, but generally looking about 5 to 10 millimetres at the most.”<\/p>\n

A low-pressure system over the southern Coral Sea has seen strong to gale-force south-easterly winds on the south-east coast, with a damaging surf warning still in place between Moreton Island and the NSW border.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the bureau recorded a wave 5.75 metres high on a Brisbane buoy, while a 5-metre wave was recorded off Tweed Heads.<\/p>\n

Mr Howe said that system was expected to begin weakening from today.<\/p>\n

“We could still see some isolated damaging surf areas with some remnant large waves, so we’re reminding people to take care,” he said.<\/p>\n

Showers later this week for the tropics<\/p>\n

From tomorrow, showers are forecast along the tropical coast, including the Cairns region and Cassowary Coast.<\/p>\n

Mr Howe said some falls were also predicted for the Mackay region and the Cape York Peninsula.<\/p>\n

He expected temperatures to be slightly above average across inland parts of the state for the next couple of days, reaching the mid to high 20s.<\/p>\n

“Closer to the coast, it’ll be maybe slightly above average,” Mr Howe said.<\/p>\n

“Heading into the end of the end of the week, we do see the temperatures drop back a little bit closer towards average, and a little bit cooler than average across inland parts of the state.”<\/p>\n

Mr Howe said the Darling Downs and Maranoa regions could see 1-degree Celsius minimums by the weekend, which he said was normal for this time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most of Queensland is set for a classic wintry week, while the state’s south-east could see some rainfall,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[22,21,1571,46259,339,7503,20959,40094,37045,211,212,46258,4443,338,30570,17954],"class_list":["post-53878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-austrlia","tag-bom","tag-bureau","tag-forecast","tag-forecasts","tag-isolated","tag-meteorology","tag-monday","tag-qld","tag-queensland","tag-scattered","tag-showers","tag-weather","tag-week","tag-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53878","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=53878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
