This Weekend Could Be One of Brisbane's Hottest September Weekends on Record

Anyone who's been outside at all this winter will have noticed that Brisbane's hardly dipped below t-shirt weather. Well, Brisbane is never too cold, but this August was one of the warmest on record. This has been both delightful and worrying — we've enjoyed days in the sun, but they've only added to our ever-present anxiety around global warming.

And as we start to mentally prepare ourselves for a really, really hot summer, it seems that we're out of time already — this weekend is set to be a bit of a scorcher. Weatherzone reports that a pool of hot air is currently making its way across the country and, when it reaches the eastern states over the weekend, it will raise the temperature by 10 to 15 degrees. That will bring central Brisbane up to a maximum of 35 degrees on Sunday, September 24 and Monday, September 25. Ispwich is set to have four days over 35 in a row. In September.

The hot temps will be accompanied by some nasty gusts of wind, so it's likely fire bans will be put in place across the state. While things will cool down in NSW and Victoria by Monday, in Queensland the spring heatwave is expected to continue into the week as well. Better buy that fan now, then.
