The heatwave that hit Queensland at the weekend set record high temperatures in a number of towns, including Kingaroy (Map: BOM)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 12, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy recorded its two hottest February days on record at the weekend … and it’s likely other South Burnett towns did the same.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in Kingaroy hit a peak of 39.7C (103.4F) on Saturday, and climbed to a new high of 40.3C (104.5F) at 3:10pm on Sunday before peaking at 41.6C (106.9F).<\/p>\n

Both days broke the previous February record of 37.8C (100.04F), which was set on February 22, 2004.<\/p>\n

Records were also broken in Toowoomba, Dalby, Gatton, St George, Roma, Beaudesert and Applethorpe, some stretching as far back as 50 years.<\/p>\n

But if the South Burnett sweltered through the weekend heatwave, there were worse places to be in Queensland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday, the mercury hit 41.8C at 1:00pm at Amberley, 41.9C at Dalby, 43.4C at Gatton and 45.6C at St George.<\/p>\n

Birdsville was predicted to hit 47C (116.6F).<\/p>\n

But there is relief in sight.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a south-easterly change that should see temperatures across the South Burnett drop three to four degrees by Monday, and as much as nine degrees by Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
