Hottest Night on Record in Australia

I know it's cold in the Northern Hemisphere but down here it's unbearably hot.

Our day time temperatures have been peaking in the mid 40s and standing outside can feel like you've walked into a blast furnace.

The record for Australia's all-time highest overnight temperature was smashed last night, just one of the marks to fall in what is becoming a heatwave for the history books.

Dr Blair Trewin, senior climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, said a minimum of 35.9 degrees Celsius was recorded at Noona, between Wilcannia and Cobar in western New South Wales, while 35.6C was measured at Borrona Downs.

"Both of those broke the previous record which was 35.5C set in 1982 in Arkaroola, South Australia, and was equalled in 2003 at Wittenoom in WA."
