Several Pilbara, Western Australia towns approaching 50c today ( Thurs ). Roebourne, Onslow, Dampier and Karratha are at or close to sea level. Tom Price is the highest altitude town in Western Australia at 747m asl and has a 44c in the forecast !
Paraburdoo is at 424m asl and is foecast to reach 47c !
Roebourne is 47.8°C at 10:40am.
Any hope of 50°C depends on the keeping sea breeze at bay. Current winds are southeasterlies at a healthy 30-40kmh. Healthy monsoon trough linked to ex-Tiffany is helping maintain this flow.
Still a lot could go wrong. I give it a 10% chance.
Yep, Onslow comes up on the outside to take the win! Not only that, Onslow ties Oodnadatta for the hottest temperature ever recorded in Australia.
Final scores:
Onslow 50.7 °C
Mardie 50.5
Roebourne 50.5
So after no 50s in 23 years, three in just one day. This also marks three of the top five temperatures ever recorded in Australia. Incredible.
Next up: the monsoon trough anchored to the remnants of Tiffany move inland and brings another round of possible heavy rain to the centre. We might see more waterfalls off of Uluru by Sunday.
