Strong wind gusts are continuing to cool Brisbane after yesterday's thunderstorms brought relief from days of searing temperatures.

Wind gusts have reached 44km/h in Brisbane CBD and up to 90km/h at Cape Moreton.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Brett Harrison said the breeze reduced the actual CBD temperature, 26.3 degrees at 10.30am, to an apparent temperature of 25 degrees.

"Increased winds when conditions are already cool and dry [makes it] feel cooler,” Mr Harrison said.

Brisbane woke to the cooler conditions after several days of hot and humid weather culminated in severe thunderstorms that lashed southeast Queensland yesterday afternoon and again in the evening.
