As shown in the live forecast above, Meridan Plains today is experiencing variable conditions typical of the Sunshine Coast hinterland — expect a mix of sun and cloud with a chance of a brief shower. Check the forecast for the most current temperature and wind details.
What kind of weather does Meridan Plains get?
Meridan Plains sits inland from the Sunshine Coast, so it gets a subtropical climate with warm, humid summers and mild, drier winters. Summer afternoons often bring convective showers or storms, while winter mornings can be foggy. The area averages around 1,300 mm of rain a year, with most falling between November and March.
How does the local geography affect the weather?
The nearby Glass House Mountains and the Blackall Range can funnel rain-bearing winds and create localised cloud bands. The Mooloolah River floodplain also traps moisture, making mornings foggier than on the coast. In summer, sea breezes from the east can moderate afternoon heat, but inland areas still get hotter than Caloundra or Kawana.
Does Meridan Plains get severe storms?
Yes, thunderstorm activity peaks from October to March. Storms can bring heavy rain, damaging wind gusts and large hail. The local topography sometimes enhances storm development, so it pays to check the live forecast for any warnings.
Is the weather different from nearby Beerwah or Landsborough?
Only slightly. Meridan Plains is flatter and more open, so it tends to be a touch windier and less prone to frost than the hills of Landsborough. Rainfall totals are similar but can vary by a few millimetres per event.
What is the best time to visit for fine weather?
Late autumn (April–May) and early spring (September–October) offer the most stable conditions: warm days, low humidity and little rain. Summer is hot and sticky, while winter mornings can be crisp but afternoons are usually sunny.
