Not just the coldest for this date, but the coldest ever recorded. Temperatures still dropping.
The weather bureau says the state’s capital dropped to 2.6 degrees Celsius just before 7:00am (AEST) on Saturday.
Bureau spokeswoman Michelle Berry said it has been exceptionally cold and temperatures are still dropping.
“[It's been] the coldest morning since 1911, so it’s quite a record there,” she said.
Not since July 28 1911 has Brisbane felt this cold, getting down to a brisk 2.6C at 6.41am.
“Breaking that record is pretty phenomenal for Brisbane,” said Matt Bass, meteorologist from BOM.
“The average for this time of year is 12C, so Brisbane was about 9C below average, it is pretty impressive really, to have the coldest morning in 103 years is a big record.”
Clermont in central Queensland had record-low temperatures on Friday, and broke records again on Saturday morning with the temperature dropping down to -4.5C.
