Grey Skies and High Humidity: Toowoomba Braces for a Damp Start to the Week

Toowoomba Weather Overview

Toowoomba residents should prepare for a predominantly overcast and humid day as we move into Monday, February 9, 2026. Following a weekend of shifting conditions, the Garden City is expected to see persistent cloud cover and a noticeable increase in moisture levels. While the sun may struggle to break through the thick canopy of clouds, temperatures will remain within a mild but muggy range, making for a somewhat heavy atmosphere across the Darling Downs region.

Morning, Afternoon, and Evening Breakdown

• Morning: The day begins with a minimum temperature of 18°C. Early risers will likely encounter very high humidity levels, peaking near 100%. This high moisture content, combined with a mostly cloudy sky, may lead to misty conditions on the range. It is a morning for light clothing, though the damp air will be felt immediately upon stepping outside.
• Afternoon: Temperatures are forecast to climb to a maximum of 29°C by the middle of the day. Despite the mercury not reaching the extreme highs often seen in February, the humidity will hover around 70%, which may cause the 'feels like' temperature to sit several degrees higher. The sky will remain cloudy throughout the afternoon, offering little respite from the glare.
• Evening and Night: As we transition into the evening, the chance of precipitation increases slightly. While the daytime rain probability remains low at around 10%, this rises to 25% as night falls. Residents should expect light, patchy rain or drizzle to develop after sunset, continuing into the late hours.

Temperature and Humidity Trends

The temperature range for today is relatively narrow, spanning from a low of 18°C to a high of 29°C. This consistency is largely due to the extensive cloud cover acting as an insulating blanket over the city. However, the real story of the day is the humidity. With levels reaching 100% in the morning and staying around 70% during the heat of the day, outdoor activities may feel more taxing than usual. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take note of the heavy air conditions.

Wind and Potential Warnings

Winds are expected to be light to moderate, primarily originating from the east and south-east. These breezes may provide some cooling relief in elevated areas, though they are unlikely to be strong enough to clear the cloud bank significantly. At this stage, the Bureau of Meteorology has not issued any severe weather warnings for the Toowoomba Council area for Monday. There are no current alerts for damaging winds or flash flooding, though the isolated trough in the region suggests that light showers are the primary meteorological concern for the next 24 hours.
