THIS week south Brisbane is forecast for cloudy 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, south Brisbane experiences around seven more days hitting 25 degrees than it did in the mid-1980s.

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

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

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.

Sheldon resident Michelle felt Redlands' weather had shifted since she moved there 35 years ago.

"The extremes in weather are more noticeable, especially with the floods, drought and bushfires we have experienced more recently," she said.

"We have emergency kits prepared and talk to the kids in an age-appropriate way about the dangers of extreme weather events and how to stay safe.

"My husband and son are tradesmen who start work a lot earlier in the morning so as to not be out in the heat of the day."

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.
