Geez, didn't take long for the media to sensationalise normal summer heat, using word like "Unprecedented"in the article below.

Yep, obviously they have already forgotten what an unprecedented summer scorcher really is. Perhaps they need a trip down memory lane. Black Saturday anyone?
Caroline Springs, Melbourne's meteorological boredom zone.

My gut feeling is this is about a once every couple of years event for Melbourne for December (nowadays). 40s used to be quite rare in December so if we get one, then it might pop up a bit higher.
I do wonder about the run of 35C at Mildura. A week is a long run in December. I can’t inagine that’s happened often before
Btw some extreme numbers showing up in northern Australia. 45.2C at Wyndham which is barely below their highest on record. Lots of near misses or records in other tropical sites. If that dives south there will be some serious heat
Progs rolling in are looking better for patchy rain trailing the change form late Saturday through Sunday. GFS3 and CMC both have quite widespread 10mm plus falls, and locally over 25mm. Meanwhile stinker tomorrow. Most spots on the flats are going to be close to 40C by the mid arvo. Not a nice day.
They are also picking up something big second half of next week. EC has been keen on this second system for a while, so seems to be firming

Min of 23C for us in FC. Going to be a stinker. Anticipate something around 34 or 35C for us which is about 40C equivalent at sea level.
Thankfully just one shocker in this sequence for us in the south, though the front is weak as and will take a day or two to clear through to the east/northeast. No relief for spots like Mildura and Albury till the second half of the weekend
Some showers developing around middle of the day Saturday. Still looks like we should get a few mms.
Progs going big for late next week. CMC and GFS have got widespread 25-75mm falls
