Queensland heatwave to ease as southern winds bring temperatures down across the state
Scorching heat that has baked Queensland in recent weeks is forecast to ease by the weekend as cool winds sweep in from the south.
Key points:
- South-easterly winds are expected to bring a cool change
- Showers are forecasts over Fraser Island today, but not enough to put out the flames
- Temperatures will be below average across most of the state by this weekend
Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) meteorologist Rosa Hoff said the winds are expected to ease heatwave conditions, bringing temperatures down below Queensland’s December average.
“The trough is acting like a windscreen wiper — it’s pushing the hot air away and allowing the cold air to flow behind it,” Ms Hoff said.
