I was intrigued and worried what had happened overnight in north Queensland’s cyclone so I was looking through statistics and reading news reports to find that it had been severe. My regards to anyone who was in it, but at Hamilton Island I found this very very odd temperature reading which just after the height of the cyclone the temperature reached 43 degrees C at 3:45 in the morning! http://www.weatherzone.com.au/station.jsp?lt=site&lc=33106&list=ob
Its previous record was 33 degrees and that was during the day and this was at night! http://www.weatherzone.com.au/station.jsp?lt=site&lc=33106&list=ds
Somebody suggested that this was a misreading but the temperature gauge continued to read into the high thirties right up to one in the afternoon today where it mysteriously cut out (which supports the theory that it was a misreading) Nowhere else around it did it rise above 30C which to me seems odd though temperatures can vary greatly over small distances. If it wasn’t a misreading what weather phenomena caused it? A heat burst? The wind was from a warm direction and when you take into account that it gusted up to 202-5km/h it could have been heat burst. Please answer i find this very weird.
