Coldest day in almost a century for parts of Queensland
Sam Terry

Widespread cloud and persistent rainfall has kept temperatures down right across Queensland, according to weatherzone.com.au.
Longreach, in the Central West district, received persistent rain from yesterday evening, dropping the temperatures by about four degrees. The temperature then barely moved today, reaching a maximum of 11, 12 below the long-term average and the coldest July day in 44 years of records.
Isisford, further south, was even colder, getting to just ten. This was the town's chilliest day since before records began in 1913, almost a century ago.
Some locations in the Maranoa and Darling Downs didn't even make it to 10 degrees. This includes Charleville, Injune, St George and Inglewood.
Residents of Brisbane also experienced the cardigan-worthy weather. The city topped at 17 degrees, three below average.
From this point, rain and cloud will contract to eastern Queensland as a trough heads off into the Tasman Sea. Southeast Queensland will still see morning rain, and then showers will kick in during afternoon as winds become gusty and onshore.
