Another warm weekend is in store for south Brisbane, with light winds expected, hitting a top of 27 degrees on Sunday.

This is good news for the sunshine lovers amongst us, but if you want some relief from the heat, you are out of luck.

Even the coldest day of the month isn't as cool as it used to be.

These days, the coldest day each November is typically around 24 degrees, more than two degrees warmer than it was 35 years ago.

Similar warming trends can be seen across southeast Queensland.

Did you know?

Cities create their own microclimate known as urban heat island effect.

Urban areas become significantly warmer than surrounding areas because there is less green cover and more hard surfaces that absorb, store and radiate heat, like roads and concrete.

As a result, Brisbane can be several degrees warmer than surrounding areas, particularly at night.
