Queensland has shattered August heat records, bidding an unusual farewell to winter.
While Queensland temperature records were smashed by a winter heatwave on Saturday, the weather bureau tipped that a cool change is coming for the Sunshine State.
It’s the last day of winter, but you wouldn’t know it in Queensland.
Heat records are set to be broken in parts of the state today, with temperatures in the north-west expected to soar to almost 40C – more than 14 degrees above the maximum average for this time of year.
After an unseasonably hot final week of winter, the Bureau of Meteorology’s Helen Reid said Brisbane was likely to sweat through its hottest August day in 15 years on Saturday
