AFL grand final weather has been everything from scorching to swamp-like. How will Brisbane compare?

As the pre-bounce hush falls under the Gabba lights on Saturday night, the lucky 30,000 there to witness the culmination of the most bizarre season in living memory will feel the tension in the air. Literally. The humidity is forecast to be 70 per cent.

There has been plenty of speculation around potential storms over the past few days.

But the latest forecast suggests while storms are expected around south-east Queensland on Saturday, they are looking more likely to stay inland than to rumble through the city. Although the BOM is still not completely ruling it out.
