Algester’s weather this afternoon, as shown in the live forecast above, is typical for a south-west Brisbane suburb—expect warm, humid conditions with a chance of a late shower. The Bureau of Meteorology’s radar shows the nearest activity over the Scenic Rim, moving slowly east.
What makes Algester’s weather different from the Brisbane CBD?
Algester sits about 18 kilometres south-west of the city centre, which means it often runs a degree or two cooler than central Brisbane in the afternoon, but can be a touch warmer overnight thanks to less urban heat-island effect. The suburb’s position near the Logan Motorway also puts it on the edge of storm tracks that sometimes bypass the CBD entirely. For a broader view, check our Brisbane Weather page.
How does the region’s weather behave in spring?
From September to November, Algester sees a sharp rise in humidity as easterly winds strengthen, with thunderstorm days increasing from about two per month in September to six by November. The Severe Weather Warning page is worth watching during this period, especially when the bom radar algester shows storm cells forming over the Great Dividing Range. If you’re planning ahead, the algester weather 14 day forecast from our live data above gives a solid outlook, though the algester weather hourly view is better for timing a walk or a trip to nearby parkinson weather zones.
Does Algester get more rain than the Gold Coast?
Yes, generally. Algester averages about 1,000 mm annually, while the brisbane weather region overall is wetter than the gold coast weather strip, which sits in a slight rain shadow near the coast.
Is hail common in Algester?
Hail occurs a few times per decade, usually in summer thunderstorms. The suburb’s inland location makes it slightly more prone than coastal suburbs, but severe hail (over 2 cm) is rare.
When is the best time to visit Algester for fine weather?
Late autumn (April to May) offers the most reliable fine days, with daytime highs around 25°C and low humidity. Winter mornings can drop below 10°C, but afternoons are usually sunny and mild.
