A hot air mass will cause temperatures to soar across large areas of Australia this week, causing temperatures to climb in parts of every state and territory.
Weather Meteorologist Ben Domensino says while hot weather is common in Australia at this time of year, this week’s heat will be above average for this time of year during both days and nights.
Mr Domensino says severe heatwaves are likely to be challenging for vulnerable people, including elderly members of the community and those with pre-existing medical conditions.
Temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 30’s this week for Inverell while further out west are expected to reach high 30’s low 40’s.
