Inland and in southern ranges cooler temperatures are experienced, especially at nights. The climate of the coastal strip is influenced by warm ocean waters, keeping the region free from extremes of temperature and providing moisture for rainfall. [27] There are five predominant climatic zones in Queensland, [28] based on temperature and humidity:

On 9 January 2011, an upper low crossed north of Brisbane and dropped rainfall on an already saturated southeast coast of Queensland, resulting in severe flooding and damage in Brisbane and the surrounding area; [18] the same storm season also caused the water storage to climb to over 98% of maximum capacity and broke the drought.

Dust storm over southwestern Queensland in 2010. Australia's climate is mostly determined by the hot, sinking air of the subtropical high-pressure belt (i.e. Australian High). [5] Dry conditions are associated with an El Niño–Southern Oscillation in Australia. Vegetation in arid areas is primarily dependent upon soil type. [5]
The Eastern Australian temperate forests, or the Eastern Australian temperate and subtropical forests, [2] is a broad ecoregion of open forest on uplands (typically on the Great Dividing Range) starting from the east coast of New South Wales in the South Coast to southern Queensland, Australia.
Today, the most commonly used climate map is the Köppen climate classification, developed by Russian climatologist of German descent and amateur botanist Wladimir Köppen (1846–1940), which divides the world into five major climate regions, based on average annual precipitation, average monthly precipitation, and average monthly temperature.
