Weather influences

• On the 1st a high pressure system shifted eastwards over the Tasman Sea and extended a weakening ridge along the east Queensland coast with shower activity confined to the exposed east Queensland coast. A surface trough and upper level trough shifted eastwards reaching the region late in the day.
• The trough system shifted eastwards off the east Queensland coast early on the 2nd allowing a high pressure system over southern Australia to build a strengthening ridge over the state with settled and dry conditions
• The large high pressure system continued to extend a strengthening ridge on the 3rd and 4th northwards throughout the state maintaining a cool and dry air mass over the inland and southern parts of the state.
• On the 5th and 6th the ridge persisted as a high pressure system weakened over south-eastern Australia and a new high pressure system developed over the Great Australian Bight, with some showers on the east Queensland coast in the onshore flow
• The onshore flow along the east Queensland coast weakened on the 7th as a high pressure system moved eastwards across the Tasman Sea, which continued to extend onshore flow along the east Queensland coast
• On the 8th a high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight extended a ridge along the east Queensland coast, extending onshore winds along the east Queensland coast. An upper level trough shifted eastwards over the region, clearing late in the evening with no rainfall within the region
• On the 9th a high pressure system moving into the Tasman Sea extended a ridge along the east Queensland coast and extended onshore winds along the coast and became more onshore on the 10th as the high pressure system moved further eastwards, which brought some showers to the southern Queensland coast. An upper level trough cleared the far southern parts of the state early in the day.
• A high pressure system on the 11th near New Zealand shifted eastwards as a new high pressure system shifts eastwards over south-eastern Australia. As a result the ridge remained over the state with some showers along the exposed east Queensland coast
• The high pressure system moved across the Tasman Sea on the 12th with the ridge across the state remaining, which continued to extend some showers along the east Queensland coast, mostly on the exposed coast.
• On the 13th a large high pressure system over New Zealand extended a weakening ridge along the east Queensland coast. A weakening surface trough also extended along the east coast, which shifted offshore bringing showers along the east Queensland coast.
• The ridge contracted northwards on the 14th as a large high pressure system east of New Zealand moved further east, allowing a surface trough, cold front and upper trough to shift eastwards over southern Queensland, and started to shift off the southern Queensland coast late in the day. This brought instability and rainfall with its passage and heavy cloud coverage.
• The surface trough cleared off the east Queensland coast early on the 15th, with the upper level trough clearing also during the morning. A new high pressure system over South Australia extended a ridge of high pressure across the state with dry and stable conditions
• The high pressure system strengthened over South Australia on the 16th while slowly shifting eastwards and extended a developing ridge into the state and along the east Queensland coast. This extended onshore winds along the east coast, but with mostly stable conditions in the region
• Showers developed later in the day on the 17th as onshore winds strengthened in response to a ridge across the state from a large high pressure system developing further over south-eastern Australia
• The large high pressure system moved into the western Tasman Sea on the 18th and started to decay and continued to extend a firm ridge along the east Queensland coast. Showers continued along the east Queensland coast in the moist onshore flow.
• On the 19th and 20th a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea continued to extend a weakening ridge over the state with the moist onshore winds easing in response, with coastal shower activity persisting.
• On the 21st a complex low pressure system moving over south-eastern Australia extended a trough and cold front that shifted eastwards reaching the east Queensland coast late in the day. This brought some instability with its passage.
• The cold front and trough cleared off the east Queensland coast early on the 22nd before shifting eastwards across the Tasman Sea, while a complex low pressure system remained near south-eastern Australia and in the Tasman Sea. This in combination with a high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight brought a dry and cool air mass over most of the state
• On the 23rd a high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight drifted northwards into South Australia and extended a ridge of high pressure across eastern Queensland bringing a cool and dry air mass across the state, with a widespread cold morning in the south.
• A cold and dry air mass remained over southern Queensland on the 24th and 25th as a high pressure system remains over southern Queensland and in the Tasman Sea that extended a ridge across the state.
• The high pressure system moved into south-eastern Australia on the 26th and extended a continuing ridge across the state that brought a cool and dry air mass over most of the state.
• On the 27th the high pressure system remained slow moving over south-eastern Australia and continued to extend a ridge across the state that brought a cool and dry air mass over much of the state. Winds started to tend onshore along the east Queensland coast with some showers along the exposed southern Queensland coast.
• On the 28th the high pressure system extended a ridge of high pressure along the east Queensland coast maintaining onshore flow along the east coast that extended further inland. Showers in this flow increased along the coast, including the south Queensland coast near a coastal trough. The coastal trough decayed and shifted northwards later in the day.
• The high pressure system started to move into the Tasman Sea on the 29th whilst continuing to extend a ridge across the state. This extended onshore winds along the east Queensland coast with showers in this flow and showers were mostly north of the southern Queensland coast.
• The ridge over the state remained on the 30th but eased further south with the high pressure system in the Tasman Sea, with settled conditions in the region.
