Each day’s UV curve and peak, drawn on the same scale so you can compare. The forecast reaches roughly four days ahead.
What to do today
A riverfront day at South Bank
South Bank can be a walk beside the river, a stop in the parklands or a longer family outing. The time you spend sitting, eating and moving between attractions belongs in the forecast window as much as the walking does.
Shelter changes between stops
Trees and covered areas can offer breaks from direct sun, but the next section of the route may be open. The chart is an area estimate near the parklands. It cannot describe shade at a particular table or conditions in a swimming area.
Check the afternoon before you stay
A short morning visit may extend into lunch or an afternoon outdoors. Look ahead on the curve before deciding what to bring. Use official local information for park access and swimming arrangements; UV alone does not establish swimming safety.
Sun protection tips for South Bank Brisbane
- Bring a hat, sunglasses and covering clothing for open sections of the riverfront.
- If swimming, follow sunscreen reapplication instructions and cover up afterward.
- Plan sheltered breaks rather than assuming every part of the parklands has the same shade.
