Frequency of severe thunderstorms lashing south-east Queensland 'unusual', meteorologist says

Thousands of lightning strikes, rain and strong winds have once again lashed south-east Queensland, with experts conceding the frequency of thunderstorms was unusual.

The wild weather swept through central and south-east parts of the state overnight, sending backyard trampolines flying in Burpengary East and hail battering down on Emerald.

Thirty thousand lightning strikes hit greater Brisbane and 100,000 strikes were recorded over the south-east coast.

"It is actually somewhat unusual how frequently we've seen these severe thunderstorms," the Bureau of Meteorology's Pieter Claassen said.

"What we are seeing is definitely severe thunderstorm thresholds being breached."

While greater Brisbane was on storm watch again today, the conditions weren't quite right to feed the appetite of a severe storm cell.

"We've seen some south-easterly winds push across cool things down a little bit and that just takes a bit of the bite out of those thunderstorms," Claassen said.

But the region could again see more storms over the coming days.

"November is the peak of our severe thunderstorm season, particularly things like large hail, damaging winds," Claassen said.

"That's the greatest threat in November."
