Summer-like conditions continue to infiltrate into the Queensland autumn. Sunday was the warmest May day in 36 years for Maryborough at 30 degrees and 13 years at Weipa, reaching a sizzling 34 degrees. Across Longreach, Richmond, Hughenden, Blackall, Oakey, Dalby and Toowoomba, it was the warmest May day in nine years. Temperatures remained balmy into the evening, with the warmest May night in 18 years at Gladstone, falling to just 22 degrees, and 16 years in Dalby at 17 degrees, Mackay at 23 degrees and Rockhampton at 21 degrees. This warmth comes off the back end of the hottest April for on record QLD. This is due in part to an inactive tropical season, in which monsoon bursts were few and far between. The lack of cloud across northern parts of the nation kept the airmass warm, which resulted in this record heat. This warmth isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It is currently four-to-six degrees above the average today across most of the southeast and east today. Cloncurry, Emerald, Gatton, Kingaroy, Thangool, Mackay and Hervey Bay are all in the midst of their hottest May day in nine years. In the tropics, Kowanyama is experiencing their warmest May day in 28 years at a searing 36 degrees. It will be balmy again tomorrow, with Brisbane potentially seeing their hottest May day in nine years. Although some slight relief will come on Wednesday in the southeast, significantly warmer-than-average conditions will persist across most of QLD until next weekend with the arrival of a trough.
