Parts of southeast Queensland have recorded one of its wettest seasons in October, but there’s a change in sight for Toowoomba after the region faced its hottest day this spring. Here’s what we can expect for the rest of the week.

It’s been a wet and stormy spring for Toowoomba this year, but a weather expert has revealed we can expect sunny days ahead.

Spokesman for the Bureau of Meteorology Danny Teece said Thursday was the region’s hottest day recorded this season so far, after temperatures hit a warm 29C before midday.

“We’re anticipating it will be quite warm for the rest of spring, but there’s still potential for thunderstorms and rain,” he said.

“Starting next week, from possibly Monday, we’re looking at a new system with anywhere between 5 and 15mm of rain expected.”

Describing Saturday as a “peach of a day” Mr Teece said Toowoomba residents could expect a sunny day with a maximum temperature of 24 degrees and similar conditions on Sunday.
