Brisbane is set for wet weather over the coming days, with showers and possible thunderstorms likely through the rest of the week. The live forecast above gives the latest timing and intensity details — this is typical for a humid summer pattern along the south-east Queensland coast.
How much rain is expected?
The live forecast above shows rainfall totals could reach 20–50 mm in the metropolitan area. Heavier falls are possible under slow-moving storms, especially in the afternoons. Check the hourly figures to plan outdoor activities.
What is driving this wet spell?
A sluggish trough combined with deep tropical moisture is sitting over the region. This setup often produces patchy rain and afternoon storms that linger into the evening. The pattern should ease by early next week as the trough shifts north.
Will the rain affect my weekend plans?
Saturday and Sunday both carry a high chance of showers and storms. If you have outdoor events, keep an eye on the live forecast above and have a wet-weather backup ready. The heaviest rain typically falls in the afternoon.
Is there a risk of flooding?
Flash flooding is possible in low‑lying areas if storms stall. The Bureau of Meteorology issues warnings when necessary. Follow any local alerts and avoid driving through floodwater. Check severe weather updates on our warning page.
Should I cancel outdoor activities?
Not necessarily, but be flexible. Morning hours tend to be drier. The live forecast above shows the best windows for outdoor time. If you’re planning a trip, consider indoor alternatives and stay across the hourly updates.
