Australia on track to endure hottest month ever, with another ‘burst of heat’

Australia could be sweating through its hottest month ever, after a gruelling heatwave smashed weather records across the country.

Sydneysiders cool down at Bronte last week.

The latest weather predictions show the high temperatures are far from over, with the week ahead set to be another scorcher.

The warmest night ever recorded was in Noona on Thursday night, when the north-western New South Wales town only dropped to 35.9 degrees.

Tarcoola in northern South Australia experienced the worst of the heatwave with a top of 49 degrees on Tuesday – the hottest temperature ever recorded in Australia was 50.7 degrees in Oodnadatta, South Australia, in 1960.
