Queensland’s weather is dominated by a humid easterly flow off the Coral Sea, with the live forecast above showing the immediate conditions for the Queensland Islands. The state is split between a tropical north and a subtropical south, meaning the coast from Cairns to Brisbane sees high humidity while inland regions remain drier and hotter.
What is the forecast for Queensland this week?
A trough lingering over the interior is triggering afternoon storms, particularly west of the Great Dividing Range. Coastal areas from the Sunshine Coast north to Mackay can expect a mix of sun and showers, with the chance of a thunderstorm near the ranges. The Australia weather hub has the latest updates, and the queensland weather radar is the best tool for tracking rain bands moving in from the Coral Sea. For those checking the bom qld 7 day forecast, expect a gradual drying trend from midweek across the southeast, while the tropical north remains sticky with a persistent shower risk.
Are there any weather warnings for Queensland?
Yes. The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of the central highlands and the Channel Country, with damaging winds and heavy rainfall possible. Coastal qld weather warnings today also cover a minor flood watch for catchments between Gladstone and Rockhampton after recent falls. For the latest alerts, see the Severe Weather Warning page.
