Bask in the Glow: Toowoomba Set for a Sparkling Tuesday

Tuesday’s Outlook: A Bright Start for the Garden City

Residents of Toowoomba can look forward to a pleasant shift in conditions this Tuesday, 17 February 2026. Following a slightly damp start to the week, the clouds are expected to part across the Darling Downs, giving way to a day characterized by plenty of sunshine and a comfortable rise in temperatures. Whether you are heading to the CBD for work or planning a stroll through the Botanic Gardens, the weather looks set to cooperate perfectly with outdoor plans.

Morning: Crisp and Clear

The day will begin with a refreshing morning. Temperatures are expected to start at a cool 15°C to 16°C during the early hours, making for a crisp commute for those early birds on the Range. Skies will be mostly clear as the sun rises at approximately 5:36 am. Humidity levels will be relatively high in the dawn hours, reaching around 90%, but this will quickly dissipate as the sun climbs. There is no significant risk of fog, though some light morning dew may be present in lower-lying valleys.

Afternoon: Warmth and Light Breezes

As we move into the afternoon, Toowoomba is forecast to reach a daytime maximum between 25°C and 27°C. While some western parts of the Darling Downs may see the mercury touch 30°C, the elevated position of the city will keep conditions slightly more temperate and pleasant. The afternoon will remain mostly sunny with only a few scattered, decorative clouds passing over. Winds will be primarily easterly, blowing at a steady 15 to 25 km/h, providing a gentle cooling effect that prevents the summer heat from feeling oppressive.

Evening: A Mild Conclusion

The evening forecast remains stable and pleasant. As the sun sets at 6:35 pm, temperatures will gradually descend back toward the high teens. By 9:00 pm, we expect the air to sit at a comfortable 18°C. Skies will remain clear to partly cloudy, offering a great opportunity for evening alfresco dining. The chance of any overnight precipitation is extremely low, estimated at less than 5%.

Summary of Conditions

• Temperature Range: Low of 15°C, High of 27°C.
• Sky Conditions: Mostly sunny with light cloud cover.
• Rainfall: Near-zero chance (less than 1mm expected).
• Wind: Easterly at 15 to 25 km/h.
