43.6C in Mildura, and 44.0 in Hay in NSW and 44.7 at Wudinna in SA the worst of it today. 40s or nearly there across most of northern Vic.
A humid almost sultry 27C here in the Dandenongs. Few spots of rain but nothing in the gauge.
Trailing trough to our south might drop a few drops overnight. Hot again tomorrow away from the coast. More showers Saturday.
We get a gusty change mid next week. Showers in the south. Looks nasty for fire weather further north depending on the fronts timing
But Perth has had a cool summer and they haven't even cracked 40c this year (first time in 16 years):
Perth is actually running right on average. December was about half a degree above and January about half a degree below. Wierd how they’ve had a stuck pattern like us with so many days in a fairly small range.
I can hardly imagine how horrible this summer must be feeling in the hotter parts of inland eastern OZ. It’s been hot here in the Dandenongs and we are about as cold as inhabited areas get in mainland OZ in summer
