Queensland braces for record temperatures as heatwave intensifies in first days of summer
Heat records could tumble today as sweltering conditions intensify in parts of southern Queensland, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) says.
Key points:
- Inland maximum temperatures are forecast to be 8-10C above average
- Goondiwindi is set to peak at 46C, with St George reaching 44C
- Brisbane’s predicted top temperature is 34C, with Ipswich expecting 40C
A trough system that brought scorching temperatures to south-west Queensland over the last few days now has its sights set on parts of the Maranoa and Warrego and Darling Downs and Granite Belt.
BOM senior forecaster Felim Hanniffy said several locations are set to approach December records in the wake of Queensland’s second-warmest November.
