Weather in Brisbane and Melbourne: Bizarre phenomenon as temperatures soar in Queensland

An Australian state known for its year-round sunny weather was hit by sub-zero temperatures after a record-breaking cold spell swept across the region.

Temperatures dropped across Queensland, with the minimum temperature at Brisbane Airport reaching 6.3 degrees Celsius on Monday night.

Tropical areas were also hit by the cold snap. In Townsville in the north, temperatures hit 8.6 degrees Celsius, while Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast only reached 3.7 degrees Celsius.

Residents in the Sunshine State’s southern interior suffered chills from subfreezing temperatures.

Oakey, near Toowoomba, saw the state’s coldest morning since May last year, with temperatures dropping to a low of -4.4 degrees Celsius at 6.30am.

Temperatures at more than 80 Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) sites were lower than Melbourne, which is often cold and cloudy in winter.

Chief meteorologist Harry Clark told Daily Mail Australia that a dry air mass in the state is to blame for the cold weather.

“That heat can in principle be radiated out into the atmosphere quite efficiently, so it has been quite cold over much of Queensland over the last few nights,” Mr Clark explained.

He added that temperatures in Melbourne are slightly higher due to cloud cover, which makes for more humid conditions.

In the capital of Victoria, a minimum temperature of 9.9 degrees Celsius was measured, which is more than three degrees warmer than Brisbane airport.

Mr Clark said the weather in Queensland will warm up from Thursday with above average temperatures expected towards the end of the working week.

‘[It will be] “Tomorrow will be another cold morning, especially in the central and southern parts of the country. Frost is also expected inland,” he said.

Temperatures in Brisbane are expected to remain below 10 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and Wednesday, before reaching 13 degrees Celsius on Thursday.

The minimum temperature in Townsville will rise to 10 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, before warming to a minimum of 14 degrees Celsius on Wednesday.

Mr Clark explained that a cold spell is not unusual for this time of year, but added that the freezing temperatures have also broken several weather records.

‘Winton [in Central Queensland] “On Saturday morning, the temperature dropped to 0.6 degrees Celsius. That was the coldest temperature we have recorded there in 22 years,” he said.

Elsewhere, Clark said a cold front will move across southern parts of Australia’s east coast.

It will be very windy in Melbourne on Wednesday, with showers expected on Thursday and part of the weekend.

Elsewhere in Australia, Sydney will see a cold start to the day on Tuesday and Wednesday, before temperatures rise on Wednesday.

A few showers are expected in the port city on Friday, with mostly clear skies expected over the weekend.
