The Northern Territory has sweltered through the hottest July on record, with a mean maximum temperature of 3 degrees Celsius above average, and there's little relief in sight.

| Territorians sweltered through hotter than average temperatures in July. |
The mercury was the highest it had been in July since records began more than 100 years ago, the Bureau of Meteorology said.
Darwinites also sweltered through the nights with only six overnight lows under 20C, while the average for July is 18.5 nights below 20C.
BOM meteorologist Greg Browning said Darwin had a mean maximum temperature of 2C above the average, but the change was more dramatic further south.
