Outdoor Christmas plans may have to be moved indoors, with wet weather expected across the whole of Central Queensland.
Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Livio Regano said the whole of Capricornia would experience a damp Christmas, while out west in the Central Highlands the weather would be more like a “swimming Christmas”.
He said temperatures were also expected to be a lot cooler than the December averages.
Mr Regano said a number of different weather systems joining like “two rivers meeting in the sky” were the cause of the heavy downpours expected all around the state.
Gladstone:
Mr Regano said Gladstone could expect a cool high of 27C with between 20mm and 40mm expected to fall in a 24-hour period.
There are many different ways, of course, to consider our Christmas weather. I think most people would love to look out the window and see a snow-covered ground or, at least, some nice big snowflakes gently falling. That sets a scene that would do Bing Crosby proud.
