RG · 07-02-2009, 02:33 PM

Well it is official, at 1422 hrs on Saturday 7th February Melbourne passed the old record of 45.6 recorded on Black Friday, 13 January 1939. The temperature posted at 1422hrs is 45.7 as seen here http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV60900.shtml

Now that is HOT!!!

**Falcon Coupe** · 07-02-2009, 02:40 PM

47.3 in Avalon.

RG · 07-02-2009, 02:43 PM

As it keeps rising, 46.0 at 1427hrs.

Laverton (10k west of Melbourne) has recorded 46.7
Avalon has recorded 47.3
Geelong 46.8

Hell it's even been recorded as 43.8 in Ballarat where the temperature is recorded from the middle of a windy field at the airport and the temps in town are usually at least 2-4 degrees hotter.

Bet you're enjoying a cool breezy 40

**TUF_302** · 07-02-2009, 03:30 PM

You poor people are roasting over there at the moment!!

Marduk · 07-02-2009, 03:31 PM

That's what the sky looks like at the moment. That's smoke blowing over from the Kilmore fires.
Anyone got some really good ones?

Nope, parents thermometer is recording just above 47 here, but that was Melbourne's recorded temp.

Don't take you're olds around town with all that new grunt.

BOM is showing 43.1° for Ballarat @ 1500. Is that a record too?

If I wasn't driving at the time, I would have taken some of the massive dust storm we had come over.
Weeks of 35+ degree days + 40km/h NW winds = I can't see very far.
Let's hope they get those fires under control pretty soon. I was only thinking yesterday that we wouldn't want to see any over here today!

The temps starting to drop over here in Adelaide, so looks like the change is finally starting to come through.

Mum loves it, she's as much a petrol head as I am :evil3:

The 43.1 isn't but I'm pretty sure the 44.1 recorded at 1502 is.

boss-290 · 07-02-2009, 04:04 PM

I wish the cool change would hurry up!
