In September overnight temperatures were cooler than normal at the start of the month before warm nights at the end of the month, while daytime temperatures were mostly above average with a 6-day period of temperatures of up to 9 ºC above average at the start of the month. October and November saw further warm days during a high number of days. Overnight temperatures saw several cool nights in October during a few cool spells and generally close to average overnight temperatures in November. December overnight and daytime temperatures were record high. In December a high number of hot days occurred with a 12-day period of high temperature of up to 9 ºC above average was experienced in December, with the 16th being 13 ºC above average. This was the highest temperature observed during both December and any month. Below average temperatures occurred in the last week of the year with some rainfall.

 

The official sites in the Brisbane area at the start of the year saw hot days with mean maximum temperatures above average from January to March and in the first week of May. The first three week of March saw very hot days and very warm nights and was the first time a site has measured a maximum daily temperature of at least 40 °C. At the end of May and early June were cool nights and again during the middle of July. Daytime temperatures became above average by August and November and December saw well above average mean maximum temperatures along with gusty winds and very low humidity which produced dangerous bushfire conditions from September to December across the region.
