AFL Stars Face Off Against NRL and Rugby Union Elites in New Reality Series
The Gold Coast is bracing for a significant weather change in the coming days. A cold front is on its way from the south, anticipated to arrive on Friday. This weather system is expected to bring high humidity and heavy rain.
Weather Forecast for Gold Coast
Meteorologist Miriam Bradbury shared insights about the impending conditions. “What it’s going to do is it’s going to intensify heat ahead of that cold front and then it’s also going to condense moisture,” she indicated. This means residents can expect intense heat leading up to the arrival of the cold front.
Temperature Projections
- Forecast for Thursday:
- Gold Coast Seaway: 33°C
- Surfers Paradise: 34°C
Following the heatwave, a cool shift will occur, bringing temperatures down to the 20s by Friday. “We’re then likely to see rain areas, showers and thunderstorms increasing, with the risk of locally heavy falls,” Bradbury added.
Rainfall Estimates
The weather bureau has warned that over 120 millimeters of rain could fall from Friday through Sunday. However, totals may be higher, based on where thunderstorms develop.
- Rainfall expectations:
- 50 to 100 millimeters or more per day in certain areas
Bradbury noted that a clearer forecast will emerge as the weekend approaches. “In the meantime, it’s just a period where Gold Coasters should prepare themselves for a wet end to the week and unfortunately a wet weekend continuing,” she cautioned.
When will conditions improve?
The weather system is predicted to move offshore by Monday, leading to a decrease in showers and storms. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the changing weather conditions.
