A November weather record has been broken on the Darling Downs after a cold snap saw temperatures tumble across south-east Queensland overnight.
Toowoomba dropped to just 5.6 degrees Celsius – its coldest November night in the 27 years the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has on record.
In Ipswich, Amberley dropped to 5.7C, its coldest night since 2006.
Applethorpe on the Granite Belt dropped to 1.3C, with frost covering the ground.
The Brisbane CBD recorded a minimum of 12.8C, while the airport dropped to 10.1C.
Forecaster Helen Reid said the lowest recorded Brisbane airport temperature was 8.3C making today's 10.1C the second lowest on record, while the lowest Brisbane CBD temperature ever recorded in November was 10.8C.
BOM forecaster Steve Hadley told ABC Radio Brisbane the combination of a cold air mass from the south and a clear, still night sent temperatures tumbling.
"Last night the winds dropped out so it was able to get a lot colder than the previous night with that cold air mass still in place," he said.
"The previous night was so windy that it wasn't really able to get that cold because the winds just kept temperatures up," Mr Hadley said.
BOM forecasts a cool November
Mr Hadley said the coming days were expected to be cooler than the November average, with maximums in the mid 20s.
"Pretty low temperatures for this time of year but possibly with the sun ever-present and the winds a bit lighter than the last few days, it shouldn't feel quite as cold as it did yesterday in some places," he said.
Mr Hadley said there was a 30 per cent chance of showers tomorrow, increasing into the weekend.
"Just a risk of about 70 per cent chance of a shower through the middle of the day," he said.
"I don't think it'd be showery all the time — you might get a nice morning or nice evening out of it depending on where you are."
