It's shaping up to be a beautiful day in Brisbane, as the city is set to bask in a sunny high of 32 degrees. It seems that summer has come early for Queensland's capital, and locals couldn't be more excited. This forecast is a significant jump from the usual October average of 27 degrees, according to the experts at the Bureau of Meteorology.
But don't pack away your shorts and sandals just yet, as the balmy weather is expected to stick around for the rest of the week. In fact, the bureau is predicting a high of 33 degrees on Tuesday, along with some possible storms. It's definitely a good idea to stay hydrated and seek shade during these scorching days.
While Brisbane is enjoying its early taste of summer, the Northern Territory's Top End and northern Western Australia are in the midst of a heatwave. Temperatures in these regions have been soaring into the high 30s and low 40s since Sunday. The Bureau of Meteorology has even issued heatwave warnings for both areas, as these above average temperatures are expected to continue until the end of the week.
In some localized spots, the heat has been deemed extreme by the bureau. Just take a look at Fitzroy Crossing in northern WA, where a sweltering 43 degrees is on the horizon for Tuesday. Broome and Darwin will also be feeling the heat, with temperatures reaching 38 and 36 degrees respectively. Even the nights offer little reprieve, with minimum temperatures lingering in the mid-to-low twenties in the Top End.
But it's not just Brisbane and the northern regions experiencing unseasonably hot weather. Sydneysiders can also expect a summer-like day on Monday, with a high of 29 degrees. However, there will be a significant drop in temperature on Tuesday, with a maximum of 19 degrees predicted. It's a rollercoaster of weather in Australia, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
