Cool, wet start to summer

It’s the first day of summer, but doesn’t feel it in Queensland today.

Central Queensland can expect maximum temperatures of around 27 degrees over the next few days and minimums of 17 degrees at night.

It’s also brining plenty of rain to the region.

We had 50mm of rain overnight across large parts of Central Queensland, this follows falls of up to 70mm on Tuesday.

Gabriel Branesco from the Bureau of Meteorology says the wet and cool weather will continue over the coming days.

“This low continued to develop last night, and will continue to do so today, as it moves southeast offshore today and Friday…causing quite a bit of rainfall along the Queensland Coast.

“Maximum temperatures will be well below average.”
