The sun-baked deserts in one part of the country could see all of us turning on the fan.
The weather analysis service said the region was known as Australia's "heat engine" due to the hot air that developed there over cloudless deserts, which was then transported across the country by troughs and cold fronts.
Port Hedland and Marble Bar in the Pilbara also topped 40 degrees yesterday, marking their hottest September day in 17 years. Weatherzone said the spiking temperatures on the weekend were due to the lack of cloud cover which was in contrast to last spring.Across the weekend, a trough and a cold front will drag the hot air to the south-east.
"Much of this year has been lacking in cloud cover compared to average, allowing the ground and air to heat up easier," Weatherzone wrote.Weatherzone reported the "very hot" mass of air would continue to develop over the desert this week, and then spread across the country.
