Mercury Rises as Late Showers Loom for Brisbane this Tuesday

A Sultry Start for the River City

Brisbane residents should prepare for a humid and warm day this Tuesday, 10 February 2026. The morning is expected to begin with significant cloud cover and a mild low of approximately 23°C. As the sun rises at 5:27 AM, the humidity levels are forecast to sit high, near 73%, creating a heavy atmosphere for early commuters. While the morning will remain mostly dry, the overcast skies will serve as a precursor to the shifting weather patterns expected later in the day.

Afternoon Heat and Sea Breezes

As we move into the midday and afternoon hours, temperatures in the CBD and surrounding suburbs are predicted to climb to a peak of 32°C. Despite the cloud cover, the 'feels like' temperature is expected to hover around the same mark due to the moisture in the air. Winds will initially be light and variable before shifting to a more consistent north-easterly flow. By the middle of the day, expect winds to reach speeds of 15 to 20 km/h, increasing slightly to 25 km/h by late afternoon. These coastal breezes may provide some relief to those in the eastern suburbs, though the inland heat will remain stagnant.

Evening Outlook: Umbrellas at the Ready

The primary weather shift is slated for the evening and late-night hours. Meteorological data indicates a medium chance of showers—ranging from 23% to 40%—most likely to manifest after sunset at 6:36 PM. While heavy rainfall is not currently anticipated, light patchy rain and isolated showers could impact evening travel and outdoor plans. Current predictions suggest a modest rainfall accumulation of roughly 0.7 mm to 1 mm, though localized pockets may see slightly more if a shower lingers over the river valley.

UV Awareness and Safety Notices

Although the day will be largely cloudy, the UV index is forecast to reach a 'Moderate' level of 5. The Bureau of Meteorology and local health officials remind residents that UV radiation can penetrate cloud cover; therefore, sun protection is recommended between 8:50 AM and 4:10 PM. There are currently no active severe wind or flash flooding warnings for the Brisbane metropolitan area, but motorists are advised to take care during the late showers as roads may become slippery after a period of dry heat. Stay hydrated and keep a light raincoat or umbrella handy if you are heading out for dinner or late-night activities.
