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.
Dam Filler is an educational game ideal for homeschooling. This is a locally produced board game, based around Australian weather and teaches about the Dry Tropics including STEM concepts of Wind Speed, Direction, Relative Humidity and Pressure Systems. You don't need to know anything about that to play, you just play and learn as you go. The infographic left shows the steps each player takes during their turn. Watch the video on how to play.

National
Eastern Coral Sea high extends ridge across Queensland, drifting east while Tasman Sea high builds ridge. Eastward trough brings heat, wind, and fire danger. Thursday brings trough's eastward move, clearing southeast coast.
State
A high pressure system in the Coral Sea will move eastward over the next few days, while another high in the Tasman Sea will strengthen and maintain the ridge. A trough moving east across southern Australia will bring high temperatures, gusty winds, and fire dangers to the southwest and interior regions. The trough will then move across southeastern Queensland on Thursday before clearing the southeast coast.
