Queenslanders living in the southeast pocket can expect the weather to be muggy and uncomfortable for the rest of the week with forecasts of severe thunderstorms. 9News

A total of 15,742 Energex customers were still being affected by power outages at 8.30pm, including in the Brisbane City, Somerset Regional and Scenic Rim Regional councils.Sticky conditions that have hung around for days are expected to continue due to humidity and temperatures expected to last through the week, but there will be some relief with north to northeasterly winds sweeping across the Coral Sea and bringing a breeze.

However, decent rainfall received on Monday and Tuesday has moved it to the third driest ever wet season and on par with conditions last seen in 1984-85. A severe weather warning for squally storms and damaging winds is in place for people in the Tiwi Islands and parts of the Daly and Arnhem districts, including Darwin.

A new weather change starting this morning will bring temperatures in the high 30s and strong winds with speeds of up to 50km/h in parts of the state.
