New Year's Eve celebrations in Australia will be a mix of good weather and storms. While Sydney is expected to have mostly dry conditions for its fireworks display, northern NSW and Queensland face heavy rain and thunderstorms.
New Year’s Eve celebrations will be a patchwork of colour and rain across the country, as strong storms are forecast for one region in particular.Revellers at the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks should have mostly dry and humid conditions to ring in 2025. But partygoers in northern NSW and across the border in Queensland will need ponchos to make their midnight countdown.
Providing the latest update on New Year’s Eve morning, Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Miriam Bradbury said storms in and around southeast Queensland had gathered steam. “In fact, parts of southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales may see severe thunderstorms bringing heavy falls for New Year’s Eve afternoon and early evening,” she said.The tropical north will continue to see storms, but the southeast and southwest of Australia should be fine. Good news for Sydneysiders hoping to watch the 2025 New Year’s celebrations as rain is forecast to hold off for the midnight fireworks. On New Year’s Day, the risk of storms will continue on the east coast, and possibly on the west coast too. Sydney will be warm Tuesday night, particularly humid on the coast, with temperatures in the low-30s. In the Northern Ranges and plains there is a chance of late afternoon and early evening heavy falls and dangerous driving conditions, including possible severe wind and hail. In the Sydney CBD there may be some evening rain amid humid conditions tonight. Parts of western Sydney and the Blue Mountains may get a thunderstorm in the afternoon.Across Victoria there is the chance of patchy rain in East Gippsland, otherwise conditions will be dry and mild.“Queensland can expect a stormy New Year’s Eve for many areas, particularly through the southeast,” Ms Bradbury said. The Scenic Rim, Darling Downs, Maranoa, Central Highlands and Wide Bay areas are expected to see heavy rain and storm
