Brisbane records coldest morning in 103 years

The weather bureau says the state's capital dropped to 2.6 degrees Celsius just before 7:00am (AEST).

Bureau spokeswoman Michelle Berry said it has been exceptionally cold and temperatures are still dropping.

"[It's been] the coldest morning since 1911, so it's quite a record there," she said.

Clermont in central Queensland had record-low temperatures yesterday, but broke records again this morning with the temperature dropping down to -4.5C.

Blackall recorded lows of -2.0C, Roma saw temperatures of -6.6C, and Oakey was down to -6.1C.

Further south in the state, Kingaroy reached -5.7C, Dalby dropped to -5.0C, Applethorpe was -5.4C, and Warwick recorded -5.9C.

Ms Berry said dry and clear conditions, as well as light winds, have caused temperatures to plummet but said mornings should start to warm up next week.

"I would keep the doonas at the ready in the morning," she said.

"I don't think we'll see temperatures drop as much as we saw [on Saturday] morning but we will see temperatures well and truly below their July averages.

"But then we'll actually see a change in air mass and with that increasing cloud we'll see those minimum temperatures on the rise."

In New South Wales, Glen Innes has recorded temperatures of -11.3C, while Thredbo recorded a low of -4.1C.

Victoria's Mount Baw Baw saw temperatures drop to -3.6C.
