Mandora on the coast between Broome and Port Hedland and near Sandfire Roadhouse could be making a run on 50c
9.50am and 45.5c ! Outstanding !. The sea breeze might kill though....

Great, thanks! So at the old station the hottest month was 44.6°C in January 2005 and at the new station 44.9°C in February 2007.
Marble Bar reached 46.7°C yesterday. Forecast for the week ahead is 47, 46, 44, 45, 43, 42, and 43°C.
The hot spot was Mandora (not Mandorah) on 47.7°C. That must be some kind of record there.
Australia Posts Southern Hemisphere's Highest Temperature Of 2021
( Source: weatherzone )
A weather station in Mardie, WA has just registered the highest temperature of the year in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere.
Northwestern Australia has been baking in an intense heatwave over the last several days, with a stubborn mass of hot air sending temperatures soaring into the mid-to-high forties day after day.
Monday will be Marble Bar's fifth consecutive day above 45ºC, and two of the next three days could get this hot as well. This heatwave means that every day so far this month has reached at least 43.5ºC in Marble Bar.

While Marble Bar's prolonged run of heat has been remarkable, some other places have been even hotter.
Mardie, located near the Pilbara coast between Onslow and Karratha, reached a whopping 47.9ºC on Monday morning. This is less than one degree off the site's December record of 48.8ºC from 1986.
Mardie's 47.9ºC on Monday is the highest temperature officially recorded in Australia this year. According to Maximiliano Herrera, a climatologist who documents extreme temperatures around the world, it's also the highest temperature of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.
Australia's highest December temperature on record was 49.9ºC at Nullarbor, SA in 2019.

Other notable temperatures were Learmonth 46.5°C and Onslow 46.5°C. Both places are right on the coast.

I've worked at Onslow.....at least when it gets that hot, it suppresses the bushflies. Flies are horrendous throughout the Pilbara, and we always know the heat is extreme if the flies are not active.

How does heat suppress bushfires?
