Melbourne: Australian authorities are sounding the alarm about extreme heat. They’re predicting temperatures could hit 38°C (100.4°F) this Sunday.

It’s not just Melbourne, either. Inland areas of New South Wales and Victoria might see temps in the high 30s or even low 40s. That’s pretty toasty!

Warnings are in place for several regions, including New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and Tasmania. Some areas could be 14°C above the January average. Yikes!

With global warming making 2024 the hottest year on record, it’s affecting everything from farming to health. People and businesses are having to rethink their strategies.

In Australia, there’s also a fire risk in parts of Victoria and South Australia. A large bushfire is still burning in Grampians National Park. Plus, some areas in New South Wales and Queensland are facing moderate flood warnings.

But don’t worry too much; cooler temperatures are expected to roll in late Sunday for South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania. Sydney and the East Coast should see a change by late Monday or early Tuesday. Fingers crossed for some relief!
