33 degrees at midnight? That is insanity.

The extreme temps are not uncommon for Canberra (nor is 30+C with 90+ RH). I've had a 30+ night last week but most have averaged an onight minimum of 25 over the last 2 weeks. A couple of years ago I had a whole week of midnights at 30+. Then I had a watercooled ST-9E and the water in the 5lt bucket could be used for a hot bath....

But I am working off the temps at my own digital weather station - not the 'official' values. You may find that your local conditions were in fact worse....

Cheers
