Climate Wallangarra is the coldest (and snowiest) town in Queensland, due to its altitude and extreme southerly location in the state. Maximum temperatures average in winter and in summer. Wallangarra holds the record for the lowest maximum temperature in Queensland, on 3 July 1984. However due to its exposed location, minimum temperatures are not particularly low; towns of significantly lower altitude such as Warwick and Oakey frequently record lower minima, and especially Stanthorpe of similar altitude but much flatter topography (which in turn causes warmer maximum temperatures compared to Wallangarra).
