Have a look at the weather forecast for Chinchilla and Miles for next week.

THE MERCURY at Chinchilla and Miles will plummet over the coming week with temperatures facing a sharp drop from Friday.

Meteorologist Alex Majthrowski from the Bureau of Meteorology said temperatures will be average at the start of the week but will drop after that.

“That’s going to do with an increased cloud in the area from about midweek onwards,” he said.

“There’ll be an increase in possible shower activity on Wednesday and Thursday.”
