More sunshine is forecast for north Brisbane this weekend, reaching a top of 32 degrees on Sunday for this year's Brisbane Blast.

Light winds might bring some reprieve, but UV ratings will be high so be sure to slip slop slap.

Daytime temperatures are not the only things heating up this time of year.

Compared to 50 years ago, north Brisbane averages three more November nights reaching at least 20 degrees.

Back in 1970 there were six nights in November which reached 20 degrees, but last year there were 14.

Scientists say this significant increase in the average number of these balmy November nights is consistent with warming trends across southeast Queensland.

Did you know?

Across the world, nights are warming faster than days.

This shows that rising temperatures are not caused by changes in sun activity.

If warming was caused by an increase in the Sun's energy, we would see a faster rise in daytime temperatures, rather than night-time temperatures.

Warmer nights can affect the quality of our sleep, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep when temperatures are higher.

"I now have to buy water (because we're) not getting enough rain to fill the water tanks for the past two years.
