Unseasonably warm temperatures are being felt in the NSW and Queensland capitals.
It may still be winter but warmer weather in Sydney has resulted in a new heat record for the city. Temperatures in Brisbane are also expected to be higher than normal on Saturday, with the possibility of another record being pipped. The Bureau of Meteorology's Sydney Airport site recorded a temperature of 31.5C at 1.55pm on Friday — an August record. Jonathan How from the BoM said the previous highest temperature recorded at that site had been 31.1C in 1954.
"The first significant rains of the northern Australian wet season are likely to be later than usual for the west and earlier than usual for most of Queensland and parts of the Northern Territory," she said. The month is not over but Australia is on track to record its warmest August yet and one of its warmest winters. "Winter, days and nights were warmer than average across Australia, despite some seasonally cool temperatures at times," Bettio said.
