Across Australia today, expect a mix of heat and storm activity — the live forecast above shows conditions near you, but from Brisbane to Canberra, a sluggish trough is triggering scattered showers and a super storm warning for QLD today as instability builds inland.
What’s driving the weather around Australia today?
A slow-moving trough over inland Queensland is drawing humid air from the Coral Sea, increasing the chance of severe thunderstorms for the south-east and central districts. Meanwhile, a high-pressure ridge over the Bight keeps southern capitals like Adelaide and Perth mostly fine, though a cool front will clip Tasmania later in the afternoon. The combination means weather today Brisbane carries a higher storm risk, while weather today Gold Coast sees early cloud clearing to humid sun before afternoon cells develop.
Are there any weather warnings in place?
Yes — the Bureau has issued brisbane weather warning today for potential damaging winds and heavy rain, and qld weather warnings today extend from the Darling Downs to the Capricornia coast. Check north qld weather warnings today map for a detailed view of cell tracks. For other states, no active warnings at this stage but watch weather today canberra for possible evening gusty showers.
Will the storms hit the coast or stay inland?
Most severe activity is forecast for inland and south-east QLD, but the weather today Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast should prepare for a burst of rain and gusty storms from mid-afternoon. Coastal fringe may see only brief downpours.
How long will this unsettled pattern last?
The trough weakens overnight, so weather around Australia today should stabilise by tomorrow morning, leaving a mainly fine, warm Tuesday for most capitals except a lingering shower possible in north QLD.
