After enduring five days of frost and fog, Brisbane is set to experience a dramatic shift in weather as the city’s coldest week of the year comes to an end. According to the latest forecasts, the change is expected to occur on Friday, bringing sunshine that should persist into the weekend. This welcome reprieve comes after a week of unusually low temperatures and morning fog, which have kept residents reaching for extra layers.

Looking ahead to the Easter long weekend, the Bureau of Meteorology has released its forecast for the holiday period. While most of Australia can expect pleasant conditions, Brisbane may see some wet weather. The forecast indicates a 40% chance of rain on Saturday and a 90% chance on Sunday, with potential rainfall totals of up to 10mm each day. This could impact outdoor plans, so it’s advisable to keep an eye on the latest updates.

Despite the upcoming showers, the immediate outlook is bright. Today’s forecast shows sunny skies with a maximum of 24°C, and similar conditions are expected through Friday. The UV alert is moderate, so sun protection is still recommended. However, the reprieve may be short-lived as the wet weather returns for the weekend, with temperatures dipping to around 12°C overnight.

For those seeking more detailed information, the Bureau provides a range of resources, including 7-day town forecasts, radar imagery, and marine services. With no current warnings for Queensland, residents can enjoy the sunshine today, but should prepare for a potentially wet Easter weekend. Stay tuned to official channels for the most up-to-date forecasts and warnings.
