Queensland braces for cooler temperatures as cold front arrives
A frosty start to the morning is expected in southern Queensland as temperatures plummet to near 0 degrees Celsius. The Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) Daniel Hayes said cooler, wintry temperatures were expected in the state's south from today onwards. "We're looking at a high pressure system that's moving across New South Wales and Victoria at the moment, and that's rigging up over Queensland," he said. "It's pulling up some quite cold air from the south through those states and into southern and central Queensland [on Thursday]." The Darling Downs, including Toowoomba and Warwick, the Maranoa and Warrego, and even north to Carnarvon Range and the Central Highlands could see temperatures dip down into single figures. Brisbane's minimum is expected to drop below 10 degrees over the next two days, with maximum temperatures reaching the low 20s. As the frost forms, places such as Roma, Stanthorpe and Dalby in south-western Queensland could also experience cold minimums. Mr Hayes said the minimum temperatures were forecast to drop 1 or 2 degrees below the June average as the cooler air from the south moved through. "Some of those minimums might push down to the coldest for the year over the next couple of days," he said. "In some places we may get to the coolest for the year to date, but probably nowhere near any of our long-term records." With minimum temperatures forecast to be as low as 2 or 3 degrees today, Mr Hayes said frost was expected around southern parts of the state. Lifeline Darling Downs and South West Queensland chief executive Rachelle Patterson is riding a bicycle thousands of kilometres on a fundraising journey for mental health support and departs St George this morning on the next leg of her journey. Ms Patterson said the colder mornings were tough, but riders were prepared despite temperatures that felt like -3 degrees. "It has been so chilly, not just with the actual temperature, but the wind chill factor has been incredibly cold," she said. "You can wear all the right clothing, wind-protecting anything, and it just cuts straight through. "It's like icy knives." Along the south-east coast, the BOM has issued a strong wind warning for Thursday. "We will see gale warnings coming onto the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast with some fairly large waves and swells building in the offshore area down there, but apart from that mostly warning-free across Queensland," Mr Hayes said. Dry conditions are expected for the rest of Queensland on Thursday, but showers could form on Friday as moisture is pushed north. Cool overnight temperatures are forecast for the central-west and north-west parts of Queensland, including Cairns, which could reach a minimum of 17 degrees in the coming days.

Climatic factors that should lead to a bear market in coffee futures & Will there be a frost in Brazil?
(KCN25) (KCU25) (KCZ25) (RMN25) (RMU25) (RMX25) 'Climatic factors that should lead to a bear market in coffee futures & Will there be a frost in Brazil?' by Jim Roemer - Meteorologist - Commodity Trading Advisor - Principal, Best Weather Inc. & Climate Predict - Publisher, Weather Wealth Newsletter Scott Mathews, Editor This 9+ minute video is a very detailed discussion sent out to WeatherWealth newsletter subscribers last weekend (Sunday Night/Monday morning) before the collapse in coffee prices. Also, this video highlights how I predicted, back in April, a potential longer-term bear market in coffee futures. 1) Where Robusta coffee (cheaper variety that is made into instant coffee) is grown and why production this year will be greater than a year ago. This has created a spiral down in futures contracts traded on the London exchange.

If so, how may it affect rainfall for Brazil's important 2026 crop and coffee bloom in October?

Risk of frost Monday night followed by set of warmer, late spring days in the Maritimes
Following a cool and soggy weekend, there is a risk of patchy frost in Nova Scotia Monday night. The good news is the Maritimes won't be caught out in the cold when it comes to some much warmer air returning to the country this week. Frost advisory Environment Canada has issued a frost advisory for the area of Nova Scotia including Halifax County, Hants, Cumberland, Colchester, the Eastern Shore, the North Shore, and Cape Breton. The advisory cautions of low temperatures falling to near one degree at lower elevations by early Tuesday morning. The chilly temperature in combination with a clearing sky and light wind will give a risk of frost formation. Frost advisory A frost advisory is in effect for much of Nova Scotia Monday night. The weather agency suggesting to 'cover up plants, especially those in frost-prone areas.' The warmer temperatures expected should eliminate the risk of frost for the rest of the week in the Maritimes. Northern areas of New Brunswick may need to be alert for cooler nighttime temperatures this upcoming weekend. Chilly and soggy weekend but much warmer days ahead The past weekend was characterized by below-average temperatures and periods of wet weather for the Maritimes. Rain totals Friday through Monday morning ranged 10-to-30 mm for much of the region. Some communities picked up totals of 30-to-40 mm of rain. Rain totals Rain totals from select volunteers and weather stations Friday through the weekend. Moving through the week, a broad ridge in the jet stream, northward movement of fast-moving winds high in the atmosphere, will allow for some plumes of warmer air to move into Canada out of the United States. The Maritimes will peak with this warm-up in the Tuesday through Thursday period of this week. High temperatures on Tuesday will reach the low-to-mid 20s for most of the Maritimes. Highs may be held closer to the high teens for a few areas, including Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton, and direct coastal locations. Tuesday A sunnier and warmer day, region wide, on Tuesday. Temperatures step up another few degrees on Wednesday and it could very well be the warmest day of this week. Daytime highs are expected to the range pf mid-to-high 20s for most of the Maritimes. Direct coastal locations will see high-teens and low-20s. Will there be a shot at some reaching 30 degrees? I'd say so. A few communities I'd watch for include Fredericton and Miramichi in New Brunswick. Increasing cloudiness from the west may bring temperatures down a few degrees on Thursday. It is still expected to be warm though with daytime highs reach the low-to-mid 20s, mid-to-high teens on parts of the Bay of Fundy coastline in New Brunswick and the Atlantic coastline of Nova Scotia. Rain and showers cool for Friday and the weekend The long-range forecast favours back-to-back low-pressure systems arriving for the Maritimes Friday and Saturday. Friday A low-pressure system moving out of the northeastern U.S. is expected to bring some rain and showers to the Maritimes Friday. Cloudier conditions with periods of rain and showers are expected on both those days. The change in weather conditions is likely to bring high temperatures back into the mid-to-high teens for most of the Maritimes. It won't be exactly cold but also not nearly as warm as Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are expected to be. After that, another ridge, and the return of warmer air, is possible next week. That is a fair way out in the extended forecast though and so subject to a higher chance of change.
