Parts of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia are bracing for extreme heatwave conditions that the Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting to be “the worst” since those experienced during the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires.
Temperatures set to climb into mid-40s in some areas, including cities on the banks of the Murray River.
The BOM is forecasting a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius in Port Pirie on Tuesday and 45C on Wednesday.
Temperatures in Mildura, Swan Hill and Renmark are expected to hit 44 degrees on Wednesday before a slight increase on Thursday and Friday.
The mercury is tipped to climb beyond 40C in the Latrobe Valley, Albury Wodonga, Bendigo, Horsham, Benalla and Shepparton.
Geelong and Melbourne are forecast to reach 40C and 41C, respectively, on Wednesday before experiencing a significant drop on Thursday and a rise again on Friday.
