This weather update is brought to you by Gecko Interior
Welcome to Gecko Interiors, a fun and colourful gift and homewares store based in tropical North Queensland, Australia. . Whether you're a local shopping from home, or dropped into my store while on a recent holiday to Townsville (with no room left to take everything back in your suitcase! ), let us take care of delivering to you.
Tropical Low
Severe Cyclone Lola is now about to cross, but as it does so it should degrade quickly as it crosses over to cooler water, and the airflow has a lot of wind shear and cooler drier air around it. Hopefully this should die off quickly and just bring rain to the islands and also to New Caledonia.
National
Weak ridge over eastern Queensland, trough over central Queensland. Trough strengthens, moves east, weakens. Upper trough enhances rainfall. High moves east, brings cooler air. High moves to Tasman Sea. New trough may move into Queensland next Tuesday.
State
Eastern Queensland has a weak ridge and central Queensland has a lingering trough. The trough will strengthen and move east, crossing the southeast and weakening. An upper trough will enhance rainfall on Friday. A high will move east across the Great Australian Bight, bringing cooler air to southern and central Queensland. The high will maintain a ridge over the state and a new trough may move in next Tuesday.
