Chilly Brisbane wakes up to 5C below average

BRISBANE has woken up to its coolest morning of the year with temperatures plunging up to a chilly five degrees below average.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Vikash Prasad said the 14.7 degrees recorded in the City was the lowest minimum of the year to date but further west the temperatures were even cooler.

Dry air, light winds and clear skies were responsible for the fall in temperature but north-easterly winds tomorrow should see warmer conditions return, he said. ``There'll be near average conditions for Anzac Day morning but the maximum will be about four degrees warmer. We're looking at a top of 31 degrees for Saturday and Sunday.'' Mr Prasad said another cool change would push in on Monday with temperatures dropping back considerably by Tuesday. ``We'll have single digit minimums in the western suburbs and the Lockyer Valley and there could even be frosts on the Granite belt,'' he said.

Mr Prasad said the chilliest April day in the City occurred in 1925 when residents shivered through a 6.9 degree start.
