Queenslanders are feeling scorching summer heat as autumn fails to take hold. Yesterday, the Bedourie recorded Queensland's hottest temperature this late in the season on record. It managed to exceed Birdsville's record of 43.3 degrees, set on 18th March 2002. Unfortunately for most, today should be hotter than yesterday across almost all of Queensland. Birdsville is lining up to take its record back, with a forecast maximum of 45 degrees. The heat in the Channel Country is an indicator of the intensity of the airmass building across most of Queensland today and tomorrow. The only areas to miss out on this heat will be the cyclone affected tropics. Amberley, along with many inland Queensland towns, is at risk of breaking its March record today. In 74 years the hottest March day was 38.9 degrees, whilst today's forecast is 39 degrees. Coastal areas in the southeast are much less likely to eclipse March records due to seabreezes coming in late morning or the middle of the day. Despite not hitting records, the humidity will make conditions feel much warmer than the mercury would suggest. The heat should stick around until Friday in the southeast and Saturday a bit further north. But some places in central Queensland will keep seeing temperatures eclipse 35 degrees each day well into next week. It seems that summer isn't letting go in Queensland just yet.
