Brisbane Heat to Break with Major Storms
12 Feb
Summary
- Heavy rain and storms are expected in Brisbane on Thursday evening.
- Temperatures will reach 35 degrees, with Ipswich at 37 degrees.

Brisbane is set to experience a dramatic shift in weather as heavy rain and storms are predicted for Thursday evening. This system is expected to break the persistent heatwave that has affected the city for much of the week.
Temperatures are forecast to peak at 35 degrees Celsius in Brisbane and potentially 37 degrees in Ipswich on Thursday. However, a significant cool change is anticipated around 6 PM, accompanied by substantial rainfall.
The Bureau of Meteorology warns that rainfall totals over the subsequent 24 hours could reach as high as 150 millimetres. This forecast carries a notable risk of flash flooding across various parts of Brisbane, and rivers west of the city may also rise due to heavy falls in their catchments.
