Queensland in February 2017: Record warmth across southern and southeastern parts

Hot days were experienced for most of the month, with record warmth throughout much of the southeastern quarter of Queensland. Overnight temperatures were well above average, with areas of inland southern Queensland reporting record warm nights. Rainfall was well below average across most of  Queensland, particularly in southeastern and western districts.

Exceptional heat across southeastern Queensland

• Overall, Queensland had its fifth-warmest February on record in terms of mean temperature
• Queensland had its fifth-warmest February mean maximum temperature, and the third-warmest February mean minimum temperature on record
• Record warm daytime temperatures were experienced across much of the southeastern quarter of the State, with numerous locations having their hottest February day on record at the end of the second week of the month 
• Extremely hot on the 12th: Thargomindah (47.2 °C), Birdsville (47.1 °C), Ballera (47.0 °C), St George (46.8 °C) and Bollon (46.5 °C) all equalled or exceeded the previous Queensland record for the hottest February day (was 46.5 °C at Ballera on 6 February, 2006) 
• The extended warmth throughout the month also resulted in several locations having their hottest February days on record or in several decades
• Coupled with hot days, much of the southern half of the State recorded well above average overnight temperatures; some locations had their warmest February night on record or their warmest February nights on record or for several decades
• Overall, the hot days and very warm nights saw many places with their highest February mean temperature on record or for several decades
• For more information on heat records broken during February and summer, see Special Climate Statement 61: Exceptional heat in southeast Australia in early 2017

Dry across most of the State; wet in the Gulf due to Alfred

• Most of the State had below to well below February rainfall; pockets along the southern border and in the southeast had their driest February on record or in several decades
• Much of the southwest and southeastern districts of Queensland recorded less than 20% of the average February rainfall
• In contrast, tropical cyclone Alfred produced very heavy falls in the Gulf Country, particular on the 20th
• Sweers Island had its wettest February day on record and wettest February on record

Tropical cyclone Alfred

• Alfred was first identified as a tropical low near Borroloola (in the Northern Territory) on the 15th, and remained slow-moving near the southern Gulf of Carpentaria coast for a number of days
• Tropical cyclone Alfred was named early on the 20th, and remained a category 1 system for almost 24 hours, before weakening and eventually crossing the coast as a tropical low in the early afternoon of the 21st
• Sweers Island recorded a rainfall total of 1159 mm from the 14th to the 23rd

Severe thunderstorms

• Very strong wind gusts of up to 115 km/h were recorded at the Inner Reciprocal Marker in Moreton Bay on the 13th associated with a line of thunderstorms
