June 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.

July weather influences

• On the 1st a high-pressure system moved offshore into the Tasman Sea and extended a ridge northwards and onshore wind flow along the east Queensland coast
• The ridge along the east Queensland coast remained in place on the 2nd as the high pressure system remained in the Tasman Sea
• On the 3rd the ridge decayed as a high pressure system remained over the Tasman Sea. A surface trough and cloud band shifted eastwards reaching the east Queensland late in the day.
• Early on the 4th a surface trough shifted eastwards off the east Queensland coast, allowing a high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight to extend a strengthening ridge over the state. This extended a cool and dry air mass across the state.
• The high pressure system remained in the Great Australian Bight on the 5th and 6th and continued to extend a strengthening ridge and a cool dry air mass across the state.
• On the 7th the high pressure moved to near Tasmania extended a ridge over the state and continued to extend a cool and dry air mass over most of the state.
• The high pressure system moved over south-eastern Australia and into the Tasman Sea on the 8th and extended a ridge along the east Queensland coast and moist onshore wind flow along the east Queensland coast.
• A large high pressure system on the 9th and 10th drifted further eastwards in the Tasman Sea, with an associated ridge starting to weaken along the east Queensland coast. The moist onshore flow however continued to extend along the east Queensland coast
• On the 11th the high pressure system shifted further eastwards with the associated ridge along the east Queensland coast weakening as a consequence. A surface trough shifted eastwards into central districts of the state and extended warm air into east Queensland
• A surface trough and cold front shifted eastwards on the 12th over central and eastern parts of the state clearing the southern Queensland coast in the evening. An upper level trough shifted eastwards over the inland of the state. The proceeding high pressure system and ridge shifted further offshore.
• On the 13th a high pressure system near Tasmania extended a strengthening ridge across the state in the wake of the cold front and surface trough that cleared off the coast. The ridge combined with a deepening low pressure system off the New South Wales coast moving into the Tasman Sea to extend a dry west to south-westerly flow over much of the state. An upper level trough shifted eastwards through the region.
• On the 14th a high pressure system near Tasmania maintained a ridge across the state and combined with a deepening low pressure system slowing eastwards over the Tasman Sea to extend dry and cool west to south-westerly wind flow over southern Queensland.
• A high pressure system to the south of Tasmania on the 15th to 17th maintained a ridge through central Australia and across to the east Queensland coast. This combined with a deep low over the northern Tasman Sea to maintain a cooler and drier air mass over most of the state.
• On the 18th a high pressure system over the south Tasman Sea maintained a weak ridge along the east Queensland coast extending a dry and stable air mass across the state.
• A weak high pressure system on the 19th over southern Queensland extends a weak ridge over the north, light wind flow over the south before a new high pressure system over southern Australia started to extend a new ridge over southern Queensland. This is maintaining a relatively dry air mass and settled conditions over most of the state.
• On the 20th a high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight extended a strengthening ridge across the south. A weak south-westerly wind change moved through the southern Queensland coast as a trough moved off the New South Wales coast. The ridge maintained a stable and dry air mass across the state.
• The high pressure system continued to build over the Great Australian Bight on the 21st continued extending a strengthening ridge over the state. A strong upper level trough moved eastwards over central Australia, moving into western Queensland late in the day, which extended a band of high cloud over much of the state
• On the 22nd the high pressure system shifted slowly eastwards over the Great Australian Bight and continued to extend a ridge over the south of the state. A pronounced upper level trough shifted east wards into central parts of the state. This extended a cloud band over eastern parts of the state but remained outside of the region.
• On the 23rd the high pressure system over south-eastern Australia shifted slowly moved eastwards and extended a ridge across the south of the state. A weakening upper trough shifted eastwards into the region later in the day with resulting rainfall from the instability.
• The ridge over the south on the 24th relaxed as a high pressure system shifted eastwards. A deepening coastal trough and a weak low pressure system started to develop off the southern Queensland coast bringing further unstable conditions.
• On the 25th a high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea shifted eastwards while the ridge relaxes further over the southern half of the state. A coastal trough deepened along with a weak low moved southward along the southern Queensland coast reaching Sandy Cape late in the day. A surface trough and upper level trough shifted eastwards over the south also, with further rainfall occurring over the region.
• The high pressure system over the south Tasman Sea on the 26th shifted further eastwards relaxing the ridge over the south of the state. A coastal trough and low pressure system continued to shift southwards along the southern Queensland coast in the morning before moving southwards and developed into a significant low pressure system off the central New South Wales coast. In the wake of the trough another trough and an upper level trough moved eastwards clearing the region in the evening with a strong high pressure system building over southern Australia extending a dry air mass in its wake.
• On the 27th a deep low pressure system shifted southwards along the southern Queensland coast. A high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight extended strengthening ridge into the state. The relative dry west- south-westerly flow between these systems lead to settled conditions.
• The deep low pressure system on the 28th slowly moving eastwards off the southern New South Wales coast and started to weaken, whilst the high pressure system shifted northwards into South Australia and extended a ridge into the state. A dry and stable air mass continued to remain in place.
• On the 29th and 30th the high pressure system remained over South Australia and continued to direct a dry and stable air mass into the region
• The high pressure system moved into south-eastern Australia and extended a ridge over the state with a dry and stable air mass remaining in place.

August weather influences

• On the 1st a high pressure system over south-eastern Australia shifted slowly eastwards and started to weaken. This high extended a relatively dry air mass over most of the state.
• The high pressure system extended a weakening ridge over the state on the 2nd. This brought a stable air mass across most of the state.
• The high pressure system started to move out into the Tasman Sea on the 3rd and extend a ridge that weakened across the state. This extended a stable air mass across the state.
• On the 4th a weak ridge of high pressure over eastern Queensland continued to weaken while shifting offshore, which produced fine and settled conditions over most of the state.
• The ridge of high pressure on the 5th shifted out into the western Coral Sea and weakened further as the high pressure system shifts further offshore.
• On the 6th a strong upper level low pressure system over the South Australia/ Northern Territory border shifted eastwards along with an associated cold front approaching western Queensland with a ridge over eastern Queensland clearing northward and offshore.
• A strong upper level low pressure system shifted eastwards on the 7th into north-west New South Wales while tracking south-eastwards. This approached eastern Queensland later in the day and brought moist and unstable conditions with showers and thunderstorms over southern and eastern parts of the state.
• The cold front shifted eastwards over southern and eastern parts of the state while weakening on the 8th before clearing off the east coast in the afternoon. A new ridge of high pressure developed in the wake of the trough which extended a cool and dry air mass. The front extended to a low pressure system shifting eastwards over South Australia that extended a cool and dry air flow.
• On the 9th a high pressure system in the Great Australian Bight shifted eastwards and extended a ridge northwards over central Queensland and combined with a low pressure system moving into the Tasman Sea to extend a cool and dry air mass over most of the state.
• A high pressure system on the 10th over south-east Australia extended a weak ridge over the state and combined with a low pressure system shifting eastwards into the Tasman Sea to extend a cool and dry south to south-westerly flow across the state.
• On the 11th and 12th high pressure system in the Tasman Sea slowly shifted eastwards and extended a weak ridge of high pressure over the state. This continued to bring a dry and stable air mass over the state. Some showers on the exposed southern Queensland coast in weak onshore flow on the 11th.
• The high pressure system in the Coral Sea extended a weak ridge over the state on the 13th and continued to extend a dry and stable air mass over the state.
• On the 14th the high pressure ridge contracted northwards into the north of the state. A significant cold front over the west shifted eastwards and approached a trough further east, but resulting instability remained to the west of the region.
• A significant cold front shifted eastwards over the state on the 15th, clearing the southern Queensland coast early in the evening while contracting offshore. This brought showers and thunderstorms over the region and the adjacent inland. A high pressure system over South Australia extended a ridge following the passage of the front.
• On the 16th a trough shifted further offshore with fine weather throughout the state. A weak high pressure system over south-western Queensland shifted eastwards and extended a dry and stable air mass throughout the state.
• The high pressure system shifted eastwards over southern Queensland extending a dry and stable air mass over most of the state on the 17th.
• On the 18th the high pressure system shifted eastwards over eastern Queensland and then moved offshore, which continued to bring a dry and stable air mass. A trough moved eastwards over the state and extended a warm and dry air mass with its passage.
• The trough continued to shift eastwards over the state on the 19th before another trough shifted eastwards over the east later in the day. Warm air shifted eastwards ahead of the trough and dry westerly flow followed the troughs over the south.
• On the 20th the trough contracted into northern and central parts of the state. Dry west to south-westerly flow over the south following the passage of the trough.
• On the 21st a high pressure system south of Western Australia and over central Australia extended a ridge over the state with stable conditions. A weak trough shifted eastwards over the state. These combined with a complex low pressure system over south-eastern Australia to extend dry westerly flow over southern and central parts of the state
• A high pressure system moved east into the Great Australian Bight on the 22nd and extended a strengthening ridge over the state. The system combined with a complex low pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea to direct a dry south to south-westerly flow over the state with cool conditions over central and southern areas of the state
• The high pressure system moved into South Australia on the 23rd and extended a strengthening ridge of the east Queensland coast. This ridge combined with a complex low pressure system shifting eastwards over the Tasman Sea to direct a dry south-westerly flow over the state with cool conditions over southern and central parts of the state.
• The ridge continued to remain in place on the 24th and 25th with a resulting stable air mass as a high pressure system remained in place over southern Australia on the 24th and moved into south-eastern Australia on the 25th
• A large high pressure system shifted eastwards over inland New South Wales on the 26th and extended a firm ridge along the east Queensland coast. Stable conditions throughout except for the odd shower along the southern Queensland coastline.
• On the 27th the high pressure system moved east and into the Tasman Sea as another high pressure system moved into the Great Australian Bight. This maintained a firm ridge along the Queensland east coast with settled conditions in the region
• The high pressure system moved through south-eastern Australia on the 28th and maintained a firm ridge along the east Queensland coast. This extended moist onshore flow along the east Queensland coast but with fine weather over the region. A weak trough moved through the region during the day
• The high pressure system moved through new South Wales on the 29th before shifting into the Tasman Sea and maintained a firm ridge along the east Queensland coast, with stable conditions.
• The high pressure system shifted further east on the 30th with the ridge along the east Queensland coast weakening, with stable conditions remaining
• On the 31st the high pressure system extended a weakening ridge over the east coast as the high pressure system shifted further east off the east coast. A weak trough moved through the east in the afternoon, before clearing south-eastern Queensland later in the afternoon before contracting further northwards. This brought warm and dry conditions.
