Monday August 24th 2009 will go into the record books as the hottest August winter’s day on record when the mercury soared to reach a peak of 31ºC at 3.00pm. A ridge of high pressure along the north Queensland coast brought strong hot north-easterly winds, low humidity and an extreme bush fire danger to the region. During the period of the mini-heatwave overnight temperatures were 6 degrees above the norm.
