Temperatures to soar as rain gives Coast a miss

Temperatures will be well above average on the Fraser Coast

Hervey Bay would reach a high of 28 degrees, about two degrees above the average high temperature for April.

Temperatures are set to soar on the Fraser Coast this week as rain forecast for further north looks set to miss the region.

Forecaster Felim Henniffy said sunny weather would prevail in the region for most of the week, with Maryborough to reach 31 on Wednesday, four degrees above average.

Hervey Bay is expected to reach a high of 28 degrees, about two degrees above the average high temperature for April.

"Most of the rain action will be further north," he said.

Mr Hennify said it was possible the northern end of Fraser Island would receive light showers, but the rest of the Coast would likely miss out.

Towards the weekend, temperatures would begin to drop again, he said, with coastal showers likely later in the weekend.
