On Thursday, a total of 27 places across NSW and the ACT baked in record maximum temperatures, with one town in the northwest of NSW sweltering in oppressive, all-time high heat for two straight days.
The freakish temperatures have turned forecast maps a worrying black and purple in areas where the mercury is set to spike.
Whitecliff, a tiny outback town with a population of just under 150 people, broke its record on Wednesday with a temperature of 48.2C, dropping only marginally on Thursday with a high of 47C just after 3pm. The extreme heatwave emptied the streets, turning it into a scorching ghost town.
Have you ever seen the color BLACK on a weather map?
BLACK!!

Makes me glad to live in Canada! I start bitching if the temperature hits 30C. I simply could not take those Aussie temps.
Nope. I have lived at -60C in Iqaluit and it's so much easier to get warm than cool. That +38 record this summer was deadly. Australia is turning into a horrible place to live.
