Sunshine Coast tops 100 mm overnight as the easterly feed locks in This satellite loop shows the setup: a high parked in the Tasman pumping moist onshore easterlies into a trough along the east coast, with the cloud stacking up against the ranges from the Sunshine Coast down to Byron. BOM totals for the 24 hours to 9am Tuesday 20 October: -Sunshine Coast: Sippy Downs 127 mm, Landsborough 115, Maroochydore 105, Mountain Creek 102, Palmview 99, Buderim 94, Tewantin 87, Sunshine Coast Airport 74 -Brisbane and north: Beachmere 58, Caboolture 50, Gold Creek 51, Wynnum 46, Brisbane Airport 34 -Gold Coast: Molendinar 45, Carrara 34, Burleigh 31 -Northern Rivers: Coopers Shoot 53, Lake Ainsworth 51, Myocum 49, Byron Bay 46, Ballina 36, Tweed Heads 34 -Inland: Toowoomba 31, Bundaberg 32, Dalby 25 Part of the October major cycle This is part of the October major cycle on the Cynoptec long-range forecast, forecast to begin from the 18th and extend through to the 25th, with broadscale storms developing from the interior through to the east to close out the period. The High Energy Period persists through to the end of the month. This time of year supports thunderstorm activity, so totals will vary widely: many places will see less than 10 mm, or nothing at all, while pockets within very narrow corridors could see upwards of 100 mm, as the Sunshine Coast did overnight. Current patterns continue to the end of October before rebuilding in late November, when activity is expected to be more widespread and at times intense. Detailed member updates drop today covering current and upcoming conditions, along with the long-range signals still to come.

The October storm outbreak forecast months ago has fired two days early. 126 mm at Middlemount overnight, storms spreading through the Queensland interior into northern NSW, and the models upgrading totals run after run as we move into the 18 to 25 October major cycle. What comes next: Warrego to Central Highlands, Capricornia and Wide Bay: 100 to 150 mm pockets stacking over three to four days, riverine flooding possible Townsville, Herbert and Burdekin: first proper rain since May from Sunday 19 October Moree, Inverell and the Northern Tablelands: 45 to 95 mm, the best rain in months SA, Victoria, Tasmania and the rest of NSW link in 21 to 25 October, deep low crossing SA 22 to 24 October with hail risk Frost potential low. November brings the heat. Positive IOD and El Nino are here. Neither is driving this. Know when the weather is due, not what the drivers say.

Water vapour tells the real story tonight. Wave after wave of tropical moisture is surging in from the Indian Ocean, courtesy of the positive IOD. At the same time a significant storm outbreak is developing across the interior and the east, courtesy of El Nino. This outbreak has initialised just days ahead of the long range schedule, which had it due from 18 October. Tonights satellite loop is a reminder of why planning around generic climate driver labels is a mistake. ā€œEl Nino means dryā€ and ā€œpositive IOD means dryā€ are headlines, not forecasts. More often than not the outcome on the ground does not match the label. Cynoptec members have had these dates and corridors in hand for months. Member severe weather and climate updates drop tomorrow covering the closing weather cycles and high energy periods through to the end of 2026. Cynoptec - Know the Futureā„¢
