Not since July 28 1911 has Brisbane felt this cold, getting down to a brisk 2.6C at 6.41am.At 7am, it inched up to 3.3C.
Matt Bass, meteorologist from BOM, said the region was well below our average temperatures.“If it felt cold, that’s because it was,
breaking that record is pretty phenomenal for Brisbane,” Bass said.“The average for this time of year is 12C, so Brisbane was about 9C
below average, it is pretty impressive really, to have the coldest morning in 103 years is a big record.”The coldest place across the
state was Oakey which got down to -6.1C, which was the coldest temperature for the town since 2011.

Meanwhile, the cold snap is predicted to send vegetable prices soaring up to three times normal prices.The combination of an unusually late start to winter plus a sudden plummet to near-record lows has confused the growing cycles of just about every plant.

How can it have "changed" if it was similar temperatures 103 years ago?
