Can't say that SEQ got to 30C often in the middle of winter.

Some of those forecasts for Volgograd and Samara are far more impressive than anything Melbourne could ever hope to see. Literally 40's for the entire 5 day forecast period.

40s over there ......then prepare yourself here for this summer then.
Cheers Kev.

Nah, the current weather on the other side of the globe is absolutely no indication of what the weather will be like here. I predict we'll just see another stock standard summer of low- mid 20's temps, 15c nights and average sunshine with the occasional isolated day of 35c or more.

It's extraordianry to see that even somewhere at +55 N capable of this while most southern Australian locations can only ever dream of such a spell of hot temps .
