Mid-week scorcher on the way for the southeast

The mercury is set to sizzle in Australia's southeast this week, with some areas likely to push 40 degrees. 

Temperatures will begin to climb from Monday. 

A very hot air mass will gradually approach from the northwest over the coming days, blanketing the southeast in very hot temperatures.

Although tomorrow will be hot in many inland areas of the southeast, even hotter temperatures will begin arriving on Tuesday, with the peak of the heat on Wednesday and Thursday.
