Yes you are absolutely correct RWM. I wish I had screenshot the 1st story that circulated as it stated Cairns. As my father-in-law grew up in Cairns and has seen frost at the Race Course so I assumed it was correct.

The updated story has now stated it was the Atherton Tablelands which recorded minus 2°C at the Caravan Park. My wife’s Grandparents lived on the Atherton Tablelands. We have done a few trips up but not since the late 1990’s. The Atherton Tablelands is not Cairns. We went up there one year and I got caught out with how cool the day was up at that elevation in July.

That is so annoying when a reckless story is posted on the news. The only thing is it was cold in Cairns at 7.9°C.

It is a beautiful sunny day over BR right now.

Just had a look at the QLD forecast and SEQ could see a very slight chance of a TC on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is very slight. My feelings right now would suggest a dry TC “IF” it can come together.

Having a look at the LI,s and Cape and forecast soundings, Wednesday looks like the best possible chance but it still looks slim.
