Hot weather sizzling across QLD

It was quite a warm day today across parts of Queensland, with some of the warmest overnight temperatures this early in spring.

Thargomindah in the Channel Country only dipped to around 28 degrees last night, which is the warmest overnight minimum on record for October, 11 above average. Most places in QLD's west were at least 5 to 8 above the overnight average.

The day continued to remain hot out west, with Cloncurry, Urandangie and Bedourie, to name a few, topping on or above 40 degrees.

Further east, temperatures have remained about average. Brisbane itself reached 27 degrees, almost bang on average. It was similar along the rest of the coast.

Over the next few days, winds are expected to increase from the northwest, dragging warm air from the interior to the coast. Tomorrow Brisbane is forecast to reach 31, and get to 33 on Monday, with the chance of a late storm.
