While we wait for The Bureau of Meteorology to provide a full wrap of Australia’s 2020 weather, the Morning Bulletin checked whether any weather records were broken over the past year at Rockhampton Airport.

According to the weather station’s data, 2020 has proven to be a glaring contrast to the weather craziness that we witnessed in 2019.

Only one record was broken when 12.2 degrees was recorded as the lowest maximum temperature for May.

Meteorologist from the Bureau of Meteorology James Hobson expected isolated rainfall activity around Central Queensland to continue into the middle of next week as the onshore winds continued.

“We’re looking at more showers in the forecast for the next little while as we remain in quite a humid air mass with winds coming in off the Coral Sea, bringing that tropical moisture into the region,” Mr Hobson said.

“We have a La Nina in the Pacific Ocean and that generally leads to a wetter than average west season.

“We’re starting to see those effects with the trough that’s in the region producing scattered showers and storms bring rain to parts of Queensland that haven’t seen it in a while.”

Not significantly affected by the La Nina, maximum temperatures around Capricornia were expected to sit around 31 degrees before climbing towards 33-34 degrees over the weekend.
