THIS week north Brisbane is forecast for a mix of cloudy and mostly sunny days in the mid-20s with light showers this weekend.

Springtime brings warmer temperatures for southeast Queensland, but September wasn't always this warm.

Over that month, north Brisbane experiences around six more days hitting 25 degrees than it did in 1970.

The graph (above) maps changes year-to-year, and the white arrow indicates the changing average at the Brisbane Airport weather station.

Since the station opened, the data shows the September climate has become warmer in Brisbane's north.

Similar warming is seen across Brisbane.

Amberley recorded more than eight extra days hitting 25 degrees.

On the coast, Cape Moreton has seen the smallest change, with two extra days over 25.

Carseldine resident James has noticed the effects of the changing weather on the natural landscapes and wildlife over his 42 years there.

"[I have noticed] increased periods without rainfall and hotter days over the year," he said.

"The hotter weather has been felt through an increase in the number of days above 30 degrees, including events that have killed wildlife such as flying foxes and treefrogs.

"The increase in hot weather, particularly days above 30 degrees with high humidity, directly affects my ability to carry out work in my business and as a volunteer working outdoors.

"It also impacts on the selection and survival of plants that I may choose as part of my bushland restoration work."

Fast fact

Many of Brisbane's snakes go into hibernation over winter, and emerge in spring to enjoy the warmer weather.

Several venomous snakes are found in and around Brisbane, most commonly the eastern brown snake, but also the coastal taipan, tiger snake, death adder, rough-scaled snake and red belly black snake.

Stay safe by brushing up on first aid and being aware of your surroundings, whether you're in the bush, at the beach or your backyard.
