Above 40 in much of Victoria tomorrow (Thursday) with strong northerlies.

Very dry and lots of fuel to burn. Could be fun.

It's already above 31C at 10:30 in the morning, and although the forecast is 38C, it looks very like it will blow past that.

HOT weather has hit Queensland right on cue for the start of summer, creeping close to the record 41.2C recorded on December 7, 1981
It's all down to hot northwest winds and will get worse on Tuesday, with a blistering 38C expected in Ipswich and Brisbane's western suburbs and 36C in the city.
Weather Channel forecaster Dick Whitaker said the northerly wind was pushing south a large pool of hot air that had accumulated over central Australia.
"Because of fading La Nina conditions, we have a lot less cloud cover and bright sunlight," Mr Whitaker said. "This heats up the surface and there's only been light winds which haven't been sufficient to dissipate the heat. In fact, its become more extensive.

Yep sure looks that way.
