My daughter was out with friends and having dinner at Newstead when hail started to fall. She said it was not big and didn’t last long. She was very fortunate that it was just the edge of the storm that hit them as it headed NE.

But a short distance away in New Farm, a restaurant had its roof torn off with the high winds from the same storm.

Not a great deal happening in this area of the threads at this point. Basically we have hot and humid weather to plough through as best as possible. We had a very heavy down pour this morning but you could feel the heat and humidity build throughout the night before it rolled in.

Most of the action is up North. The gang in the thread for that area are doing a fantastic job in keeping a non hyped real approach to what is happening. You can follow them here https://www.weatherforum...24-2025-Wet-Season/page9

It is an interesting setup as you watch the monsson drifting South. There are a few lows and possible TC’s embedded in the monsson as per the images from BoM and JTWC. But also there has already been very heavy rain and flooding in many areas in the North of Queesnland. Once again you can follow the action in the above thread.

Had some solid falls today. A nice rain train seen on the radar this afternoon.

It was an extremely hot and humid day yesterday and you were right Aussie Girl, it did feel like a storm day. I was stuck on a project and it was really unbearable but it had to be completed.

Storms started to build in the early part of the evening and continued over the next few hours. We did receive a severe storm warning text at 12:28 this morning as per the images below. Some good rain totals from the heavy rain.

We should have the possibility of storms over the next few days as the atmosphere is primed. A fair amount of Cape or instability around the SEQLD and NE NSW.

Some very heavy rain out towards the Scenic Rim this evening.

We just seem to get stuck into these monotonous weather patterns although it has been fractionally cooler in the last 2 days and a couple to follow.

Then we are back to above average minimum and maximum temperatures for the South East of Queensland and NE NSW. There is also a slightly higher than average chance of rainfalls for the same area. These forecast for both rainfalls and temperatures are the long range predictions from now until May.

I used to enjoy April from years back because it was when we noticed a dip in temperatures and noticed a change in the seasons. But it seems to have changed like a lot of weather patterns around the world.
