If you’re in parts of Queensland or New South Wales, check the latest Bureau of Meteorology advice for Storm Bram – this low-pressure system is bringing damaging winds, heavy rain and possible flash flooding. Secure outdoor items and avoid non-essential travel until warnings ease.
What is Storm Bram?
Storm Bram is a deep low-pressure system that developed off the east coast, drawing tropical moisture south. While not a tropical cyclone, it packs gale-force winds and sustained rainfall, prompting severe weather warnings along the coastal fringe. The system is expected to weaken as it moves into the Tasman Sea, but conditions will remain hazardous through the next 24–36 hours.
What areas are affected and what should you do?
Current warnings cover the Hunter, Mid North Coast and parts of Southeast Queensland. Gusts above 90 km/h are possible, especially near the coast and elevated terrain. If you’re travelling in these regions, postpone outdoor activities and stay off the roads if flooding occurs. Keep an eye on live radar loops to track the rain bands.
Is Storm Bram a tropical cyclone?
No. Storm Bram is a low-pressure system that has drawn tropical moisture but lacks the organised core of a cyclone. It still brings similar dangers like damaging winds and heavy rain.
When will the warnings be lifted?
Forecast models show Bram moving offshore by Thursday morning. Warnings will be cancelled progressively once wind and rain drop below severe thresholds – check the BOM for real-time updates.
Should I cancel my holiday travel?
If you’re heading to the coast between Coffs Harbour and Brisbane, consider delaying until Friday. Roads may be affected by flash flooding, and beach conditions will be dangerous. Check your accommodation for flexible booking policies.
