The most hit coastal regions are located from Hervey Bay down to Coolangatta, swimmers, and surfers made however from high sea waves fun and were using it for surfing or swimming.
Ex-cyclone Seth is moving to the northwest, now, with some impact in Queensland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Strong manifestations of the severe storm were observed within temperatures in New Zealand, where on the front side of the system, the hottest day of the year, with +34,2°C in Alexandra, was measured.
Remnants of the system are moving towards Queensland, where around 5. January 2022, a center of storm should move quite close to the coast.
Winds along Gold Coast have already reached more than 100 km/h and although severe floods aren´t expected, winds and rough seas should significantly worsen weather comfort in the wider Brisbane region.
