Hot spell in Perth

Ben Domensino, Thursday November 14, 2019 - 20:54 AEDT

Perth is on track to register its first four-day spell of November days at or above 35 degrees in 86 years.

A low pressure trough lingering near Australia's west coast is drawing hot inland air towards Perth this week.

After reaching 35.7 degrees on Wednesday and 37.7 degrees on Thursday, the city is forecast to hit 39 degrees on Friday and 35 on Saturday.

If these temperatures are reached, it will be the first time Perth has had four consecutive days at or above 35 degrees during November since 1933. It would also be only the second time on record Perth has had four days this during November.

Perth's hottest November day on record was 40.3 degrees, which occurred in 2003 and 1913.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW

11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
