Only Brisbane will experience temperatures in the mid-20s. Additionally, storm season is on the way, as indicated by a recent thunderstorm in New South Wales and parts of Queensland and Victoria.

Editorial – Embracing the Change
The arrival of spring typically brings a sense of rejuvenation, with blossoming flowers, longer days, and warmer weather. However, Australians will have to endure a colder start to the season this year. While it may be tempting to grumble about this delay in the arrival of balmy days, there is an opportunity to embrace the change and appreciate the unique beauty that a cold start to spring can offer. Instead of rushing into summer activities, this weekend presents an opportunity to cozy up indoors, engage in autumn-inspired activities like baking or reading, and make the most of the remaining cool weather before the heat sets in.
Advice – Preparing for Spring
As we bid farewell to winter and prepare for the arrival of spring, it is essential to remember that it is a transitional season. While some days may be warm and sunny, others may still hold a hint of winter chill. To make the most of this season, it is advisable to dress in layers that can be easily shed as the day warms up. Additionally, with storm season on the horizon, it is crucial to stay informed about weather forecasts and be prepared for potential thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. Lastly, while spring brings the promise of warmer days, it is also a time when allergies may flare up due to the pollen in the air. Those prone to seasonal allergies should take necessary precautions and consult healthcare professionals if needed. By embracing these tips and adjusting our expectations for a colder start to spring, Australians can make the most of the season and navigate the transitional weather with ease.
