Weather Outlook for Gold Coast, Australia: January 9th - January 11th, 2025
As we step into the warmer days of January on the Gold Coast, it's essential to be prepared for a mix of weather patterns. Over the next three days, residents and visitors alike can expect temperatures to vary from the low twenties to the mid-twenties in degrees Celsius, with a notable increase in humidity and a continuous chance of rain throughout the period.
Day 1: Thursday, January 9th, 2025
The day kicks off with a sunrise at 4:59 AM and a sunset at 6:47 PM, offering almost 11 hours of daylight. Expect a maximum temperature of around 25°C (77°F) and a minimum of 21°C (70°F). The weather will be predominantly overcast with patchy rain showers likely, especially in the morning and afternoon. A significant 100% chance of rain suggests that carrying an umbrella might be wise. Visibility is expected to be good at 10 kilometers, but be cautious of possible light winds from the NNE at 8-12 km/h, which may feel cooler in the humidity. Afternoon thundery outbreaks might add to the atmospheric excitement, as we cherish the tropical climate typical of the Gold Coast.
Day 2: Friday, January 10th, 2025
Friday is anticipated to replicate much of Thursday’s weather, maintaining similar temperatures ranging between 21°C (70°F) and 25°C (77°F). You’ll notice a bit more sun creeping through the clouds, but that doesn’t mean you should leave that raincoat behind! The chance for light rain continues with about a 73%-100% probability, particularly during the morning commute. UV Index peaks to a strong 14 in midday, so sunscreen is highly recommended if you venture outdoors, especially in the late afternoon.
Day 3: Saturday, January 11th, 2025
A slight dip in temperature is expected this Saturday, with highs of 22°C (71°F) and lows around 20°C (69°F). The day begins with overcast skies and continuing rain throughout. Expect moderate rainfall, especially from mid-morning to early afternoon when around 3 mm of rain might accumulate. Winds are expected to be calm, providing some relief from the sticky tropical heat, with easterly breezes making conditions feel more comfortable.
The overall humidity levels will linger around the 100% mark, making it feel warmer than it is; therefore, hydration is key. With rain showers likely throughout the whole day, make sure to check the latest updates, and explore hour by hour weather details.
