[h=1]Get used to record-breaking heat: bureau[/h]
THE heatwave that has scorched the nation since Christmas is a taste of things to come, with this week’s records set to tumble again and again in the coming years, climate scientists said.
The hottest average maximum temperature ever recorded across Australia – 40.33 degrees, set on Monday – may only stand for 24 hours and be eclipsed when all of Tuesday’s readings come in. Previously, that record had stood since December 21, 1972.
‘‘The current heatwave – in terms of its duration, its intensity and its extent – is now unprecedented in our records,’’ the Bureau of Meteorology’s manager of climate monitoring and prediction, David Jones, said.

I really hope winter comes soon. It wont be as nice as the CBR one but still cooler than summer.

I was wondering why during winter when there were lower than usual average temperatures experienced in Australia why that didn't seem to be covered.
It is actually making me more skeptical.
Burnie was 22C today but felt lower with wind chill factor.Predicted 18C tomorrow and it is predicted to snow on the higher peaks in Tassie tonight.

Actually the most recent winter in CBR was the coldest for the last 30 years.
 
Indeed my father in law was telling me about one year in roxby downs where they had something like 45 odd days over 40. This was when they first moved there, so sometime between 5 and 25 years ago.
