Check the live forecast above before heading out in Cannon Hill today, as the suburb’s position on Brisbane’s southside, near the Brisbane River and Bulimba Creek, can produce localised showers and afternoon storms distinct from the city centre’s conditions.
What is the typical weather pattern for Cannon Hill?
Cannon Hill sits in Brisbane’s inner-eastern suburbs, roughly 6 kilometres from the CBD, and shares the city’s humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons often bring a storm risk, driven by sea breezes off Moreton Bay that stall against the inland ranges. Winter mornings can be foggy along the creek flats, but clear to mild afternoons are the norm. For real-time tracking, the bom radar brisbane loop shows approaching cells from the bay or the western ranges before they reach Cannon Hill.
How does Cannon Hill’s location affect its weather?
Its proximity to the Brisbane River and Bulimba Creek means Cannon Hill can be a few degrees cooler than the CBD on summer nights, while the creek corridor funnels easterly winds. This makes afternoon sea breezes more noticeable than in suburbs further west. During a severe storm watch, check the cannon hill weather radar on the BOM site for the five-minute updates that show whether a cell is tracking directly over the suburb or passing to the north.
Does Cannon Hill flood during heavy rain?
Low-lying areas near Bulimba Creek and the Cannon Hill shopping centre car park can flood in intense downpours. Check the bom radar for Brisbane and avoid driving through water over the road.
Is Cannon Hill windier than other Brisbane suburbs?
Yes, slightly. Its open eastern exposure to Moreton Bay means gusts from the north-east are often 5–10 km/h stronger than in suburbs sheltered by the Taylor Range, such as The Gap.
When is the best time to visit Cannon Hill?
Autumn (March to May) offers the most reliable fine weather, with lower humidity and fewer storms. Spring can be gusty, and summer afternoons often require a rain plan.
