Plan your outdoor activities around persistent showers for Brisbane, with the live forecast above indicating a soggy stretch driven by a coastal trough. The extra cloud and rain will keep temperatures mild, so grab a jacket and umbrella before heading out.
How long will the wet spell stick around?
The trough responsible for the rain is expected to linger over southeast Queensland into the early part of the week, according to the live forecast above. Showers will be most frequent during the mornings and afternoons, with a brief break possible overnight. By midweek, a ridge of high pressure should start to nudge the system offshore, gradually clearing conditions from Wednesday.
What’s causing all this rain now?
Moist onshore winds from the Coral Sea are feeding into a slow-moving upper trough that’s stalled over the Brisbane region. This setup is typical of a late-spring wet pattern, drawing humid air inland and triggering widespread, patchy rain. Localised heavier falls are possible if the trough deepens, especially near the coast and the river catchments.
Will the rain be heavy or just drizzly?
Expect mostly light to moderate showers, but a few heavier bursts are likely under the deepest cloud bands. Flash flooding is not forecast for Brisbane city, though low-lying areas and roads may collect water briefly.
When will the sun properly return?
The live forecast above shows clearing from Wednesday as the trough weakens. Thursday should bring partly cloudy skies with only a stray shower. By Friday, a more settled pattern takes hold.
Should I keep an eye on any warnings?
