If you are lucky enough to be reading this from the comfort of your blankets, it might be best to stay there, as Brisbane has hit its coldest temperatures in 103 years.

Not since July 28 1911 has Brisbane felt this cold, getting down to a brisk 2.6C at 6.41am.

At 7am, it inched up to 3.3C.

Matt Bass, meteorologist from BOM, said the region was well below our average temperatures.

“If it felt cold, that’s because it was, breaking that record is pretty phenomenal for Brisbane,” Bass said.

“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.”

The coldest place across the state was Oakey which got down to -6.1C, which was the coldest temperature for the town since 2011.

Brisbane wasn’t the only town hitting landmark temperatures with Clermont breaking its coldest record two days in a row.

“Clermont in the coal fields got down to -4.5 which is a new record for them, their previous record was -3.7, which was set yesterday, so they’ve re-broken their record two days in a row.”

All these cold temperatures are being brought on as cold air moves up from the south, combined with clear nights

How can this be? The globe is warming so says the scientists? Cheesy

its an Abbott con you know that... Tongue

since Al Gore has spoken once again...we all know everything we are doing is causing CLIMATE CHANGE....got nuffink to do with natural cause .. its all scientific you know..

so Al says...

here is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.

2) Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.

3) Warmer periods of the Earth’s history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels.

4) After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940

Bloody cold here - got the neighbour's cat on top of the lounge near the heater and covered in a folded towel for a blanket.

No, increased thermal energy over decades (that cannot be explained by natural events alone) = AGW.

Local weather events, hot or cold are not indicative per se. Extreme weather events increasing is a prediction of the effect of AGW.
