Thought Saturday morning was a bit chilly? You weren’t imagining it … it was our region’s first sub-zero morning of the year (Photo: pxfuel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 2, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett residents who thought it was chillier than usual on Saturday morning weren’t imagining it.<\/p>\n

According to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), Kingaroy Airport’s weather station recorded an overnight low of minus 0.1 degrees.<\/p>\n

This was almost 13 degrees lower than the same day last year, and 7.5 degrees lower than the long-term average minimum temperature for May (7.4 degrees).<\/p>\n

It was also the coldest morning minimum recorded at the airport so far this year.<\/p>\n

A BOM spokesperson said early risers who stepped outside may have felt it was even a few degrees colder because of the windchill factor.<\/p>\n

The reason for the cold weather is a large high drifting slowly eastwards across southern Australia which is maintaining a ridge over central and southern Queensland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is producing a cool, dry air mass across the majority of the state.<\/p>\n

BOM forecasts that 15 to 25 km\/h winds will persist during Saturday, Sunday and Monday, strengthening briefly for a few hours on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Overnight temperatures on all three days should range between four and six degrees, with daytime temperatures of 21 to 23 degrees.<\/p>\n

However, the cool weather should begin to ease back towards May norms by Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
