Areas west of the city, including Oxley (36C), Ipswich (35C), Beaudesert (35C), Gatton (36C) and Boonah (35C) will also farewell winter on Saturday with summer temperatures, while Caboolture and Chermside north of the city will hit an expected 34C.

“Temperatures around the coast will get up to around 10 degrees above August averages, and inland, about 14 degrees above August averages with many locations likely to see their warmest August days since 2009,” BOM senior forecaster Pieter Claassen said.

“For many locations, those forecast maximum temperatures in the low to mid-30s are more akin to what you’d see in a typical December or January day.

“We’re seeing summertime temperatures toward the end of winter, which is very unusual.”
