Residents in eastern Australia are advised that drinking plenty of water is key to preventing heat-related illness. |
Temperatures are expected to soar above 40C in parts of
central and southern Queensland and New South Wales over coming days, eclipsing
the mercury readings in Australia’s tropical north.
The Bureau of Meteorology predicts an extreme heatwave
straddling the inland border of both states, with Bourke in the NSW outback and
Thargomindah in Queensland’s channel country tipped to reach the highest
temperatures of 45C and 44C respectively on Wednesday. The mercury in
Thargomindah will hit 46C on Thursday, according to the bureau.
