Based on the live forecast above, expect a humid day in Caloundra with temperatures climbing toward the low 30s Celsius and a chance of afternoon showers. The northeasterly sea breeze and a nearby trough are driving this typical summer pattern, so keep a rain plan handy.
How does the onshore flow shape Caloundra weather today?
The live forecast shows winds shifting from north-east to east through the day, drawing moist air off the Coral Sea. This keeps humidity high—dew points often sit above 20°C—and fuels scattered showers that tend to peak in the late afternoon. The caloundra weather radar (BOM’s Maroochydore radar) picks up these cells well, giving you about 30–60 minutes of lead time. For a broader picture, see the Brisbane weather page, which often shares the same coastal influences.
What can you expect from extended outlooks?
Models for caloundra weather 7 days show a repeating pattern: warm mornings, building cloud, then brief storms. Outlooks for caloundra weather 14 days and caloundra weather forecast 28 days are less reliable after the first week because tropical systems can shift quickly. Stick with the bom weather caloundra 7-day forecast for planning. For hourly detail, caloundra weather hourly data in the live table above gives you wind and rain timing per block.
Is the Caloundra weather radar good for tracking storms?
Yes—the Maroochydore radar (121 km south-west) covers Caloundra well. You can see rain cores moving east across the hinterland, giving 20–40 minutes warning for coastal cells. Use it alongside the live forecast above.
How does ’weather in Caloundra 10 days‘ compare with the 7-day?
The 10-day product is a blend of deterministic and ensemble models. It’s useful for trends (e.g. a drying phase) but unreliable for daily rain timing. The official BOM forecast only goes to 7 days.
Why do afternoon showers hit Caloundra more than Brisbane?
Caloundra sits closer to the coast, so sea-breeze convergence triggers earlier and more frequent shower development. Brisbane’s inland location often delays or reduces this effect, especially in summer.
