Locals are being warned of a very high fire danger in the region today and tomorrow as Bundaberg records one of the hottest February days on record.
Today's maximum of 37.9 , recorded at Bundaberg Airport, beats the previous record of 37.7 at that weather station.
However, February 1990 saw an even hotter day recorded at the Bundaberg Post Office when the mercury rose to 38.3 degrees.
Some unofficial records saw areas such as Thabeban shown as reaching a top of 38.1 degrees.
A three-day heatwave forecast map. Bundaberg's temps will duck back down to a much more civil top of 33 degrees tomorrow.
