Weeklong Rain Soaks Brisbane, Bringing Muggy Conditions
Brisbane is bracing for a week of wet weather, with expectations of increased humidity and rain beginning Thursday. The Bureau of Meteorology has indicated that tropical moisture is currently prevalent along Queensland’s east coast, setting the stage for these conditions.
Weather Forecast for Brisbane
Senior meteorologist Jonathan How stated that a trough moving toward south-east Queensland would affect weather patterns. This system will usher in significant rainfall, primarily impacting eastern suburbs and extending towards the Gold Coast.
Rain Predictions
- Thursday: Rain is anticipated to intensify during the day, particularly in the eastern suburbs.
- Friday: Expected to be the wettest day with possible rainfall amounts reaching 50 millimetres in certain areas.
- Weekend: Showers are likely to continue but with a decrease in intensity.
- Next Week: Daily showers are predicted, contributing to a muggy atmosphere.
The rain is expected to be relatively mild, reducing the risk of flash flooding. However, overflow in storm drains may occur due to persistent wet conditions.
Temperature and Humidity
While temperatures are likely to stay around the high 20s, the combination of rain and humidity will create a muggy environment. This outlook could persist for up to ten days, maintaining a damp atmosphere across the region.
Brisbane residents are advised to prepare for these conditions, as the wet weather is expected to last until winds shift next week, bringing drier weather.
