The air quality remained in the 'very poor' category at 345 at 7 am, according to the data available on the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) website.

A thick haze has rolled over the city this afternoon as bushfires west of Brisbane fill the skyline with smoke. It comes after yesterday’s wild storm left thousands without power and today’s heat smashed records — peaking at 38.7°C, the hottest October day in over two decades. With more than 50 fires burning across Queensland, authorities are urging residents to stay informed and limit time outdoors as air quality drops. 📍Brisbane CBD 🌡️ 38.7°C 🚒 50 fires statewide Via @timpjohnson01 | Brisba
