Queensland enters day one of a three-day cold snap today, with the Granite belt expected to hit below 0°C over the weekend.
On top of the cold temperatures, a hazardous surf warning is in place for both the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast, prompting the removal of shark nets.
Despite the cold weekend, this winter is predicted to be slightly warmer than average due to the effects of global warming and the ending of the La Nina weather system.
