Weather influences

• On the 1st a weakening trough shifted eastwards from central Queensland that extended to a low pressure system in the Tasman Sea. A trough and southerly wind change shifted northwards along the southern Queensland coast in the evening.
• A high pressure system in the Tasman Sea extended a ridge and onshore winds along the east Queensland coast on the 2nd.
• The high pressure ridge strengthened along the east Queensland coast as a high pressure system remained in the Tasman Sea on the 3rd.
• A surface trough shifted eastwards over the interior of the state on the 4th, with the ridge along the east Queensland coast starting to decay.
• The ridge along the east Queensland coast on the 5th continued to decay as a surface trough shifted eastwards into central and eastern parts of the state, which then shifted a southerly wind change northwards in its wake over south-east Queensland.
• On the 6th a high pressure system over the Great Australian Bight extended a ridge over the west and inland of the state that brought stable conditions.
• A high pressure system shifting eastwards over southern Australia extended a ridge with stable conditions over the east Queensland coast on the 7th.
• A high pressure system that shifted eastwards into the Tasman Sea maintained a ridge along the east Queensland coast on the 8th.
• On the 9th to 11th the high pressure ridge remained along the east Queensland coast as the high pressure system moves slowly eastwards over the Tasman Sea.
• The ridge along the east Queensland coast started to weaken on the 12th as the high pressure system shifted further eastwards over the Tasman Sea.
• On the 13th a high pressure system near New Zealand extended a weakening ridge along the east Queensland coast. A surface trough over the interior of the state shifted eastwards over the interior and brought some instability to its east, mostly inland of south-east Queensland.
• On the 14th the high pressure ridge contracted northwards into north Queensland as the surface trough shifted through the south-east before moving offshore in the evening with some instability with its passage.
• A high pressure system in the Tasman Sea extended a weak ridge along the east Queensland coast on the 15th. A surface trough shifted eastwards through the south-east of the state while decaying before a south-easterly wind change followed its passage.
• On the 16th a high pressure system extended a weakening ridge along the east Queensland coast. A surface trough over the interior of the state shifted eastwards over the state and drew warm northerly flow eastwards across the state.
• On the 17th a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea extended a ridge along the east Queensland coast. A surface trough extended over the interior of the state, which shifted northwards through south-east Queensland and brought a south-easterly wind change in the late afternoon. The inland trough brought some instability into the south-east of the state.
• A high pressure system moved eastwards into the Tasman Sea on the 18th and extended a firm ridge along the east Queensland coast with stable conditions in the region.
• On the 19th and 20th a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea extended a firm ridge along the east Queensland coast before weakening on the 21st and 22nd with a weak pressure gradient over the south-east of the state.
• On the 23rd a weak ridge extended along the east Queensland coast. Warm northerly flow extended across to the east Queensland coast ahead of a surface trough shifting eastwards over the interior of the state.
• On the 24th a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea extended a weakening ridge along the east Queensland coast. An inland surface trough extended offshore of the south-east of the state after shifting through the region. A south-easterly wind change then shifted northwards through south-east Queensland. Some instability in the region due to the inland surface trough.
• A new high pressure system moved east into the Tasman Sea on the 25th and extended a weak ridge over the northern Queensland coast and cooler south-easterly winds in the south-east in the wake of the coastal trough.
• On the 26th a high pressure system extended a ridge along the east Queensland coast and stable conditions in the south-east.
• The ridge extending along the east Queensland coast started to decay on the 27th through to the 29th, while continuing to extend onshore flow along the east Queensland coast with light onshore flow on the southern Queensland coast.
• On the 30th the high pressure system shifted away in the Tasman Sea with the ridge weakening further. A weak south-easterly wind change moved through the south-east of the state as the coastal section of an inland trough remains well to the west. Following the trough, a new high pressure system over moving over the Tasman Sea extended a high pressure ridge along the east Queensland coast.
