Soaring temperatures in South East Queensland a 'taste of what's to come' this spring

South East Queensland is expected to get a taste of summer this week due to hotter-than-average temperatures, with some parts of the region set to hit 36 degrees Celsius.

The fire threat has also increased with residents near Cunungra, north west of the Gold Coast, on alert after a bushfire broke out near Sarabah Road this morning.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said Brisbane reached 33.7C on Wednesday, and was expected to hit 31C on Thursday and 34C on Friday.

The maximum temperature in Ipswich, west of Brisbane, is set to be 36C on Friday — 11C above average.
BOM forecaster Michael Knepp said the temperatures were unusual for early September, with Brisbane city's average temperature for this time about 25C.

"It's rare to see a run of these days with temperatures 8 degrees above average," he said.
