Caloundra weather is defined by its coastal subtropical climate on the Sunshine Coast. The live forecast above shows current conditions, while a persistent sea breeze keeps summer heat moderate and winter days comfortably mild.
What drives Caloundra’s daily weather?
The south-easterly trade winds and the warm East Australian Current are the main influences. Summer humidity builds from December to February, with afternoon thunderstorms developing inland and moving coastward. These storms often bring heavy rain and lightning but pass quickly. Winter brings stable high-pressure systems, clear skies, and cool mornings. For real-time rain detection, the caloundra weather radar provides accurate tracking of approaching showers.
