From the interior around the NT/WA border which has 850hpa temps around 34C today

pete28 Weatherzone Addict Registered: 08/01/2007 Posts: 1164 Loc: Christchurch, New Zealand	Port Augusta now 48C at 1.15pm, with a full 3-4 hours of heating left it could be in with a real shot of getting to 49.5C+...

Wave Rider Meteorological Motor Mouth Registered: 27/01/2014 Posts: 7365	Wow even Port Lincoln has cracked 48°C, it usually dodges the heatwaves but not this time. As mentioned above, Port Augusta has also reached 48, as has Ceduna. There's also multiple 47's across the state. _________________________ The longer you wait for storms, the more you appreciate them.

That 0.9 could be the distance to Andromeda or just a gust of wind away. Ceduna tripped up by the trough - who knows if it could have. _________________________ PWS AWEKAS WOW

Tom Weather Freak Registered: 26/06/2004 Posts: 75 Loc: Elwood, Victoria	Tarcoola looked like it was out for the count, but comes back with a late 49.1. Has it got any more puff left, that's the question... Fascinating to watch this minute to minute. Does highlight just how extreme the weather needs to be to get to 50C.

Graham M Weather Freak Registered: 21/01/2002 Posts: 441 Loc: Boambee East near Coffs Harbou...	There are probably plenty of people sweltering who envy us on the NSW north coast where temperatures have seldom left the twenties this month. Just a pity about our humidity. I find dew points in the mid-twenties, as we're experiencing today, quite oppressive, especially when there's not much breeze. Adelaide's dew points today are around 20° lower. I'm not sure which I'd prefer. Just a thought ...

Knot Weatherzone Addict Registered: 01/05/2014 Posts: 2842	That would make the Wilcannia 50 the NSW record would it not? And not far off Mardie and Ood. When do you expect it to be digitalised? _________________________ Land Ahoy! Ooops!

Save some dough and stop putting AWS in the desert. Use that to get it done. Before the dumbasses at the ABC, SBS and Fairfax turn a future NSW 50 into a 'hottest evah' meme, coz they looked up climate data data extremes and no one in your illustrious bureau corrects the dumb shiitzzz Edited by Knot (25/01/2019 14:08) _________________________ Land Ahoy!
