The South Burnett shivered through its coldest morning so far this year on Monday, with the mercury dropping to -1.4 degrees in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

By 9:00am, it had risen to a much warmer 15.7 degrees.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the temperature dipped to just 0.3 degrees on Saturday, May 12.<\/p>\n

With a light frost predicted, farmers at the weekend were rushing to complete thrashing of peanut crops in southern parts of the region.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted morning temperatures for the rest of the week to stay above zero, with a positively warm 6 degrees tipped for Friday.<\/p>\n

While it was cold in Kingaroy on Monday morning, there were worse places to be.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applethorpe in the Granite Belt took honours for being the coldest placed in the state when the temperature plummeted to -2.8 degrees at 7:03am.<\/p>\n

Oakey on the Darling Downs recorded -2.0 degrees, and Warwick saw the mercury dip to -1.9 degrees, pushing Kingaroy into fourth place.<\/p>\n

Three other sub-zero spots in Queensland were Toowoomba’s Wellcamp Airport (-1.0 degrees), Dalby (-0.3 degrees) and Roma (-0.2 degrees).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
