A large pool of hot air will spread across Australia in the opening week of November, giving many parts of the country an early taste of summer.

Weatherzone meteorologist Ben Domensino says a stubborn ridge of high pressure to the south of Australia has been allowing hot air to build over the country’s northwest in the final days of October.

He says the heat will continue to brew over northwestern Australia in the coming days before a cold front crossing southern Australia helps drag the hot air towards Australia’s southern states later this week.

Inverell temperatures will be on the rise over the next few days reaching 30* by Monday while Moree and Narrabri will reach temperatures in the high 30’s by next week
