The hottest day recorded in Perth was on 23 February, 1991, when the mercury reached 46.2C.

:D :D

- don't remember too much about it but EXCEPT MY BROTHER WENT HOME WITH A BLOOD NOSE AND I WAS HAPPY ABOUT IT LOL :D :D :D :D :D

Nah, someone told me there was another 46 day in Perth when my auntie got married and I was real young so maybe in '81 or something?!!? I was surprised to read this day in 1991 was the record to tell you the truth... so be it: i knew it was a day to remember, somehow, mind you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ... oh yeh- that's right... MY BROTHER WENT HOME WITH A BLOOD NOSE LOL :D :D

The official record for Rockhampton was 45.5C in 1990. That was over 24 years ago. I was at the beach when we got it, so we didn't suffer. And although we have had unofficial reports of temperatures as high as 47 degrees celsius in recent years, official temperatures have not budged passed 44 degrees celsius. Winter temperatures have taken a dive in recent years. And that's with me complaining about it after having to endure driving around in winter time for deliveries -- ergo, I should have been accustomed to it.
