South Australia Braces for Scorching 45°C Heat This Weekend

At AusNewsLanka, we aim to keep the Australian community informed with timely updates.

Extreme heat is on the way for South Australia, with forecasters warning temperatures could soar to 45°C this Sunday — possibly challenging state records.

A mass of hot air moving from Western Australia is driving the heatwave, pushing temperatures above 40°C across several inland regions.

Weatherzone says the North West Pastoral District will feel the worst of it, while Adelaide will stay milder, peaking at 31°C on Sunday.

The hot, dry and windy conditions are also expected to increase bushfire risk across southern Australia.

Other capitals will feel the heat too — Sydney is set to reach 32°C on Friday and 33°C on Monday, before storms and rain bring relief midweek. Melbourne will touch 31°C on Thursday, while Canberra will see similar highs on Monday.

Australia’s October heat record still stands at 46.9°C, set in Port Hedland back in 2002 — but forecasters say this weekend could come close.
