| A huge swathe of heat across the nation bakes much of the country in 45 degree-plus temperatures. |
A slew of records have already fallen during the current heatwave and more are likely to be broken before a cool changes breaks up the furnace later this week.
According to the El Dorado Weather site, the warmest 15 places on the planet in the past 24 hours were all in Australia. These ranged from Tarcoola in inland South Australia which reached 49.1 degrees, to Yulara in the Northern Territory at 46.1 degrees in 15th slot.
The Bureau of Meteorology said the 49 degrees at Tarcoola was a record reading for that site.
