Scorchers Ahead: What Summer 2025–26 Has in Store for the Gold Coast
Summer on the Gold Coast is always a vibe, and 2025–26 is shaping up to be no exception. This is the season when the city really comes alive—bright mornings, warm ocean swims, and long evenings that stretch out over sunset drinks by the water. But according to forecasts, this summer is expected to turn the dial up a little higher than usual, bringing more heat, more humidity, and more of those classic subtropical storms locals know all too well.
Daytime temperatures are tipped to sit firmly in the high 20s, regularly pushing between 25 and 30 degrees. The ocean will feel just as inviting, with sea temperatures hovering around a balmy 25 to 27 degrees. On paper, it sounds perfect. But it’s been flagged that warmer oceans can feed extra moisture into the atmosphere, and that energy is often released through heavier showers and more intense storms. As a result, the air may feel thicker and hotter than the numbers suggest, especially around midday or further inland.

Rain will definitely be part of the summer story. Short, sharp downpours are expected, usually popping up in the afternoon or evening. One minute it can feel like a flawless beach day, and the next, dark clouds roll in before clearing again just as fast. These bursts aren’t usually long-lasting, but they are something to plan around rather than be surprised by.
The best weather windows will almost certainly be in the mornings. Conditions tend to be calmer, cooler, and less humid, making early hours ideal for beach walks, swims, surfing, or a coffee along the esplanade. By midday, the sun becomes intense, humidity peaks, and it’s often smarter to slow things down and find shade, air-conditioning, or a long lunch spot. Evenings are expected to bring relief, with temperatures easing into the low to mid-20s and the air becoming far more comfortable for outdoor dinners or exercise.
Dressing for summer will be all about keeping it light and sun-safe. Breathable fabrics, light colours, sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses will be essentials rather than optional extras. A small umbrella or lightweight jacket could also come in handy when those surprise showers hit. Above all, staying flexible and keeping an eye on the forecast will be key. With a bit of planning, the Gold Coast’s 2025–26 summer should still deliver plenty of sunshine, swims, and memorable nights by the sea—even if it runs a little hotter and wetter than usual.
