However, it's predicted that global warming will lead to such heatwaves becoming more common and more extreme. So if such heatwaves do become more common and more extreme than we have some validation to the theory.

This has always confused me and I try to ask people but they don't seem to understand.
How is this proof of anything like Global Warming if it happened 50 years ago and 51 years again before that? I'm confused.
A high pressure system located over the Tasman Sea will remain slow moving.
Another high south of the Bight will pass south of Tasmania during the weekend
and reach the Tasman Sea on Monday. Yet another high pressure system will pass
to the south of Tasmania on Tuesday.
A high pressure system will track across Bight waters to cross Tasmania tonight
before reaching the Tasman Sea on Wednesday. A low pressure system will develop
at the head of the Bight early on Wednesday before moving steadily
southeastwards with an associated cold front entering Victoria on Thursday and
crossing to the east of the State early on Friday.

It can reach 45 celsius, not sure what the highest has been recorded at. Other summers it's crappy, it's just the way it goes.

When I go to Fes, Morocco in the summer, the average temp can get to like 38 to 45 C, it can get even hotter!
Anyway the funny thing is, your body almost adapts to it, at the start I felt like I was dying, after a while it almost starts to feels normal! (plus fes is well designed, lots of cool shadows to stand in and spacious rooms to keep cool) Amazing how the body adapts.

Try living in the North west for 18 years and having only 2 seasons summer and winter...Its hot work up north and you drink like a fish...
I can tell you right now that a 45 in Melbourne is nothing like a 45 up North in W.A ...so take a teaspoon of cement and harden up

WA... Still, can't complain too much.. If it wasn't for the eastern states, we'd have no where to keep all those people from Sydney and Melbourne.
*ahh 25c today, top of 30c. i can actually feel the airconditioner for a change instead of the warm soup that has been air for the last few weeks..*
