THE average forecast top for Australia's capitals is over 31C. Guess which city is the first to get a 40C baking this summer.
Melbourne will be the hottest city in the country today with a forecast top of 38C, though that could go even higher.
But there has been a reprieve for Adelaide, which was expected to get to 40C.A cool change has hit the city early, bringing the mercury down.
In Darwin, the crocs won't fancy a heavy lunch at a sizzling 34C.
And in Canberra, the Libs won't need to try baking the PM, who may well sweat more than a disgraced union official at 33C.
Brisbane will be perfect one day, though for the moment it will have to settle for a sticky 31C.
Sydney won't be so bad at 28C, although that's by the harbor. Rough estimate for a Western Sydney roadside... maybe 65C?
And Hobart will be mild, of course, but any hotter than the forecast 27C and Antarctica may melt.
So, what's the coolest place in Australia? Well, Perth should be positively shivering at 20C, and they've also copped a nasty storm.
The scorching temperatures come as the UN weather agency said extreme temperatures and violent weather afflicted the planet this year, with heatwaves, droughts, floods and devastating storms as well as unprecedented ice melt in the Arctic.
"Climate change is taking place before our eyes and will continue to do so," World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) chief Michel Jarraud said in a statement.
January-October 2012 was the ninth warmest such period since records began in 1850, the WMO said.
While in Italy a freak tornado smashed into the southern Italian town of Taranto, causing damage to a local steel mill.
