Brisbane Braces for Week-Long Wet Weather System
Rain set to dampen the city with muggy conditions expected for days
The Bureau of Meteorology is tracking the system as it moves toward South East Queensland, with rainfall expected to set in over the coming days and persist well into early March.
Residents can expect overcast skies, intermittent showers, and high humidity. The system comes on the heels of recent flooding in Central Australia and severe weather warnings across Victoria.
While rainfall totals are not expected to reach dangerous levels for most of the city, localised flooding in low-lying areas remains possible.
Analysis
Why This Matters
After a relatively dry start to the wet season, Brisbane is about to get a solid drenching. Good news for water storage but expect disruptions to outdoor plans and commute delays.
What to Watch
Keep an eye on BOM updates for any upgraded warnings. The system could intensify depending on how it tracks.
