Severe Thunderstorm Warning
for Damaging Winds, Heavy Rainfall And Large Hailstones

for parts of Capricornia, Wide Bay and Burnett, Darling Downs and Granite Belt and Central Highlands and Coalfields Forecast Districts.

Issued at 9:54 pm Friday, 31 October 2025.

A few severe storms continuing over the wide Bay and Burnett and southern Capricornia.

Weather Situation
Moderately strong instability remains in place over southeast and central Queensland this evening. This is combining with strong winds in the upper atmosphere to provide a favourable environment for the development of scattered severe thunderstorms this evening.
DAMAGING WINDS, HEAVY RAINFALL and LARGE HAILSTONES for the following areas:
Central Highlands and Coalfields, Capricornia, Wide Bay and Burnett and Darling Downs and Granite Belt
Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds, heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding and large hailstones in the warning area over the next several hours. The main risk of heavy rainfall is around and just south of the Bundaberg area.
Locations which may be affected include Bundaberg, Monto, Gayndah, Eidsvold, Gin Gin, Childers, Mundubbera and Biggenden.

Emergency services advise people to:
* Park your car undercover away from trees.
* Close doors and windows.
* Keep asthma medications close by. Storms and wind can trigger asthma attacks.
* Charge mobile phones and power banks in case the power goes out.
* Put your pets somewhere safe and make sure they can be identified in case they get lost.
* Do not drive now unless you have to because conditions are dangerous.
* Tell friends, family and neighbours in the area.
* Go inside a strong building now. Stay inside until the storm has passed.

The next warning is due to be issued by 12:55 am Saturday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and emergency services would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
