Temperatures are well above average today for parts of South East Queensland but records are yet to tumble, as a low-intensity heatwave encumbers the region, while extreme fire danger is forecast for New South Wales.
abc.net.au/news/qld-weather-bom-heatwave-temperature-storm-nsw-fire-danger/102103680Brisbane is heading to a maximum temperature of 35 degrees Celsius today and Ipswich 37C as south-east Queensland endures another heatwave.Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Harry Clark said that was 6C and 9C above average for March and just a few degrees short of records."Either way you cut it, we're looking like a fairly hot and uncomfortable day today," Mr Clark said.
The high temperatures have been classified as a low-intensity heatwave and is caused by slack winds across central and northern Australia for the last week that have not flushed out a hot air mass.Furthermore, a northerly wind is dragging up the warmer air from the interior, towards coastal communities.
There would be little relief from the hot weather until Tuesday when the region could see "significant" showers.
