Perth has broken two weather records after four days of searing temperatures across Western Australia.

 

The temperature hit 40.4 degrees today — the hottest November day since records began in 1897.

 

It was also the fourth consecutive day over 35 degrees which is only the second time it has happened in November. The last time was in 1933.

 

Bureau of Meteorology WA duty forecaster Russell Vink said Perth broke the record in style.

 

"Basically there's a high in the bight, a very broad surface trough down the west coast, [and] a hot air mass over the state," he said.

Yep. Well known fact. Visitors be warned! If the spiders, snakes, crocs, sharks or drop bears don't get you, the weather conditions will have a go at you too...

Yep! It was very hot. But it’s a hot climate here in WA. Didn’t know it hit 40C today though.

Hate to think what summer will be like!

For the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to reach 104 F (40C) usually requires a heat index adjustment.

heat in·dex

noun

a measure indicating the level of discomfort the average person is thought to experience

as a result of the combined effects of the temperature and humidity of the air.

Loopy and I attended a Convention in Tuscon, AZ USA once and the temp was 115. 

 

Even though we walked to and from our hotel, I wasn't all that affected, because, as everyone

knows...it's a 'dry' heat.
