It has been pretty bad here. This [0] might be interesting for anyone wanting to check out how anomalous these temps are against long-term averages. Apparently South Australia had 17 temperature records broken on Thursday (though I can't find the link now).

- crispinb 8y agoWe (Northern Rivers) haven't had the extremes, but weeks of above-average temps on top of drought have made it dryer here than I've ever seen.
