Residents and visitors in Cairns are waking up to ideal conditions this Thursday, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a day of abundant sunshine and warm temperatures.
A Classic Sunny Day for the Tropics
The weather bureau predicts a mostly sunny day for the Far North Queensland city. The mercury is expected to climb to a comfortable maximum of 31 degrees Celsius. Winds will be light and variable, shifting to come from the southeast at about 15 to 20 km/h in the late morning and afternoon. This makes for perfect conditions to enjoy the region's famous outdoor attractions.
Overnight and Coastal Conditions
The fine weather is set to continue into the evening. Overnight, Cairns can expect partly cloudy skies with light winds. The minimum temperature will be a mild 23 degrees Celsius. For those planning activities on the water, the forecast for the Cairns Coast is equally pleasant.
Winds along the coast will be light, initially variable before turning southeasterly at 10 to 15 knots during the day. Seas are expected to be smooth, increasing to a slight chop by the afternoon. Swell along the coast is minimal, making for calm ocean conditions.
Looking Ahead to the Weekend
The sunny and stable conditions are not just a one-day event. The Bureau's outlook for the coming days suggests more of the same classic tropical weather.
Friday is forecast to be sunny with light winds, reaching a top of 31°C again. Saturday will see a mostly sunny day with a very slight chance of a shower, and a similar maximum temperature. Sunday continues the trend with a mostly sunny forecast and a top of 31°C.
This extended run of fine weather provides an excellent opportunity for locals and tourists alike to explore everything the Cairns region has to offer, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Daintree Rainforest.
