South-east set to swelter in heatwave fuelled by cyclone brewing off WA
It might have been a relatively mild summer so far, but a hot air mass strengthened by the cyclone brewing off the West Australian coast is set to cause extreme heatwave conditions in the south-east.
Key points:
- The cyclone off the WA coast is in just the right position to compound heatwave conditions over south-eastern Australia
- High temperatures are expected over the weekend and into next week
- Authorities are calling for caution and for communities to check in on their vulnerable
The Bureau of Meteorology’s Jonathan How said the heatwave would be longer and bring warmer nights than the one that broke records back in November.
“We are really going to see the heat start moving to South Australia and Victoria over the weekend,” he said.
