Humidity to hit south-east Queensland as rain eases

ABC  

While the worst of the severe weather has come and gone, south-east Queensland faces uncomfortably humid conditions for the rest of the week due to the "double whammy" of a north-east airflow. Key points: A low-pressure system off the coast means sticky days and nights for much of the south-east Brisbane and the south-east can expect showers bringing between 5mm and 15mm every day for the rest of the week Drought-affected inland areas are not forecast to receive significant rainfall In the wake of some areas receiving more than twice their monthly average rainfall in just a couple of days, the Bureau of Meteorology says the state should expect only moderate falls for the rest of the week. But in between showers and isolated thunderstorms, a near-stationary low-pressure system off the Queensland coast will provide sticky days and nights for much of the south-east, with temperatures slightly above average. No significant rain for drought areas Drought-affected inland areas are not forecast to receive significant falls, with the possible exception of Queensland's Southern Downs.
