For Brisbane, the live forecast above shows daytime temperatures mostly in the 28–32°C range with a 30–50% chance of afternoon showers, typical of late spring as the wet season approaches.

What is driving the pattern?

A trough over the interior is drawing moist easterly winds across the coast, increasing humidity and shower activity from midday. Temperatures have been close to the November average of 29°C, though the afternoon humidity makes it feel a few degrees warmer. The chance of a storm is low but not zero — any development would be brief.

How should you plan the day?

Morning conditions are generally fine. Showers, if they arrive, tend to develop after 1 pm and clear by evening. UV levels reach extreme (11+) between 10 am and 3 pm, so sun protection is essential even on cloudy days. The breeze from the northeast keeps the coast slightly cooler than inland suburbs.

Will the rain persist into the evening?

No. Showers are mostly diurnal — they form with daytime heating and taper off after sunset. Overnight and early morning should be dry, with patchy fog possible in western suburbs.

Why does the humidity feel so high?

Moist onshore flow from the Coral Sea keeps dew points in the 18–21°C range. Combined with temperatures above 28°C, the apparent temperature (feels-like) can exceed 34°C, especially in still conditions.

Is this forecast likely to change?

It is fairly stable for the next 48 hours. Beyond that, a possible low pressure system may increase rain chances. Check the 10-day forecast for updates.
