Gold Coast residents, get ready to turn up the fans and slather on the sunscreen! Today’s weather forecast promises a sizzling high of 34 degrees, making it one of the hottest days of the season so far.

The day kicks off with clear and sunny skies, perfect for an early morning swim or stroll along the beach. But don’t let the morning calm fool you—there’s a medium chance of showers creeping in later this afternoon and evening.

What’s more, there’s the potential for severe thunderstorms during the same period, so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the skies and your local weather updates.

Winds are expected to stay light, with northwesterly breezes of 15–20 km/h shifting northerly around midday. By evening, they’ll taper off further, leaving the city with a still and balmy night.

For those venturing outdoors, it’s a classic Queensland summer combo: a steamy day with a chance of stormy drama to close it out. Don’t forget to stay hydrated, be sun-safe, and have a plan if thunderstorms roll in!

Stay across the Bureau of Meteorology for any warnings or updates throughout the day.

Stay cool and keep safe, Gold Coast!
