An oppressive heatwave stretching across half the country from Darwin to Victoria will send temperatures soaring up to 15 degrees Celsius above average during the coming days.
Maximums are predicted to exceed 40C across a broad swathe of the interior and east — the warmest summer weather in years for much of south-east Australia, including highs on Monday of 41C in Melbourne and 38C in Canberra.
Across the eastern outback maximums will peak well above 45C, hot enough to challenge December records in a handful of western New South Wales towns.
Man, our obsession with endless “make number go up” might be going to far when it comes to the weather
Apparently the recorded all time high is 50.7 (tied between SA and WA), so 45 is rookie numbers - gotta pump that up! Tell Dutton to get on the coal! /s
I’ll go turn on my a/c and open all my windows
Is it just the outback desert half that will have a heatwave?
Or maybe the heatwave will be outside the environment?
If we get enough fans, we can blow the heat outside the environment.
Cant be outside the environment. There’s 20thousand litres of crude oil there
